Just to be clear, all of the drive pulley's between the engine and tranny turn freely? There should be 2 or 3.

HI yes I have removed the mower deck so only main drive belt in position and pulley on transmission moves freely

Again for clarity
You start your engine then release the brake & the engine stops .
Is that correct ?

If so start the engine and engage the blades
Does the engine turn off as well ?

Do you mean part # 152 in this parts diagram ?
LT 1238 deck

If so it passes through the bracket # 151 and on to the lever # 157
Remove the wheel to make life a bit easier for yourself.
