Answer
Hello Leane:

Was the Crankcase Oil at the Proper Level? Remove the Belts from the Crankshaft Pulley and Try to Turn the Engine. Does it Turn with the Belts Off? If No, then Remove the Spark Plug/s and Try to Turn the Engine. Does it Turn? If No, then the Rings may have Seized, the Connecting Rod May have Broken or the Internal overnor May have Broken and Locked the Engine. You can View a Breakdown/IPL of the Mower/Engine at this Site Addy, http://hayward.arinet.com/scripts/EmpartISAPI.dll?MF&app=ASP&lang=EN&TF=Mainfram... and Select the Catalog American Honda. If you Hit a Snag or this Does Not Correct the Problem,  I am Here if You Require More Assistance. Hope this Helps. Let me Know What Happens, Please. May the All Mighty Bless You and Yours. Thanks.

Good Luck
