I screwed up the tractor mower again!

The blade picked-up straw and hay just as I turned the blade off. When I turned blades on again it jammed and the belt drive seizedup and dark black smelly smoke erupted. Mower back with Henry again. Cant mow any more now anyway, we are in high fire alert, first shift only and if it doesn't rain we will go to extreme.
