The deck shouldn't be too hard to take off IF you have a manual. I've taken decks off my mowers and my mom's many times for PM and I still wouldn't attempt it without a manual. But just a hint, if the mower drive belts aren't turning, it's probably the electric clutch.HJ

Have you been maintaining the tractor? I ask this because if the mower suddenly stops, it could be a broad range of possible problems.

Don't you have a manual? I'm sure it would tell you how to take the mower off and change the belt if needed.

Anyway, to hypothetically answer your question, a mower suddenly stopping MAY mean that you:
A) weren't greasing the bearings,
B) letting the mower deck plug up full of grass,
C) burned the belt off or let trash collect on the deck,
D) your mower gearbox ran out of oil,
E) your tractor has severe pto/transmission problems

In other words, pull the deck and find out for yourself!
