Could be out of adjustment if the lock bolt came out pull the cover and look inside its pretty simple. Tech Tip #24 - Tech Tips - Shop Kinks & Tech Tips

Thanks, I checked the lock bolt and it is in place and tight.???

Probably just needs an adjustment. It's weird how fast they can get out of adjustment and not work at all. I think both times mine did it, there was junk keeping the wheel from moving when starting and the guy running the chipper tried too hard to get it going using the clutch and overheated it.

if it has ben over heated you will need to back it off a little to make up fore the worped presure plate, letting them set running fore a long time with the clutch disingaged will get them hot also
