My Murray mower quit?

I have an older Murray widebody lt mower. I mowed the front lawn with no issues, moved to the back and it stalled. It sounded like I was going through grass that was too thick. The mower shut off and wouldn't start again. When I turn the key, I hear a small click and a whine/squeak noise. The battery is charged and I am getting a good spark from the solineoid. Do you think it could be the starter?

Sounds like a possible seized engine - have you checked the engine oil? If seized then starter will be unable to turn and makes a high pitched squeal sometimes.

There are sensors on the mower (not sure where) but I was told by my uncle who works on them to unplug all your safety sensors and it will fix the problem (they go bad farely quickly). I too am having the same problem, I will text it and then update this post.

Could also be something jamming the blades somewhere. check all the cutting blades move easy

sound like starter not engaging, could be build up of dirt. sometimes a tap on the motor will free it, but really needs to be taken apart and cleaned.
