Question
i was cutting grass when i noticed the front wheels connected to the drive system stop moving

Answer
Hello Devin, wheels should be checked to make sure that they spin freely.Disconnect the spark plug wire, then prop up the mower and spin the wheels to see if they turn easily. Wheels should be lubricated regularity.Many manufactures recommend not to lubricate bushings and bearings because grease and oil attact dirt, which will wear out bearings and axles sooner. Most front tires are generally held on by pins. Most riding lawn mowers, the wheels have rereplacable bushings. Your front wheels are probably mounted on spindles. Examine your front wheels careful, there might be more to this.
