1) Empty the bag, if it has one. 2) Check the ejection chute and make sure it is not plugged. 3) Prop the gas tank side of the mower up and check for obstructions between the end of the blades and the housing. (Methinks that this is your culprit) 4) If none of the above is an issue, brace the mower and turn the blade by hand in the direction it will go. This may move the crankshaft around enough that the pull cord will work again. 5) Call Ron when he gets home.
Every time that I have had a problem with a push mower like this, it is obstructed blades.
