After putting the belt back on since it was not on the pulley, now the mower will not start. You can hear it trying, but it won't start.

I got stuck on a slope and after freeing myself, the mower does not cut properly. Also, the deck does not move up or down. The engine runs fine and the mower drives forward or backward, but the cutting is not correct and the deck seems to be stuck.
