Does your 222 have manual implement lift or hydraulic implement lift? If you have a lever on the right side of the steering wheel that is the same as the travel lever on the left side of the steering wheel, then you have hydraulic lift.
If you do have the hydraulic lift, then tell me if the hydraulic lift is working. The symptom you describe is not unusual and it often indicates a failed LoveJoy coupler. The engines in these tractors do two things. There is a mechanical PTO on the front of the engine that belt-drives the mower deck and snowblower. The rear of the engine drives a hydraulic pump and that pump is coupled to the crankshaft via a LoveJoy flexible coupling that takes out any minor alignment issues.
Over time, the rubber "spider" in the LoveJoy wears out and when that happens, the rest of the coupler quickly disintegrates. Now, if you have some basic mechanical skills, this is not that big of a deal but it does require that you remove the engine.
Right now, you need to determine whether the pump is spinning or not. If the deck lift doesn't work and the tractor won't move, then most likely the pump is not spinning.
If the deck lift does work then you should be checking out the linkage under the tractor that joins the travel lever you move back and forth, to the travel valve itself that is mounted right under the checkplate floor in front of the seat.
