Welcome to MLMF. Free is always good. Just taking a quick look at the Google results, looks like the Bolens is a 2005 or 2006 maybe. Depending on how long it's been sitting, things could just need a little coaxing to get them free and loose again. That could also explain the battery. It might be weak from sitting so maybe a fresh charge, or a new battery is in order. So far as the transmission, what type is it? Is it gear driven or hydro? I'm not all that familiar with hydros, but from what I gather from reading, there is usually a lever or some device that has to be released to allow it to roll free.
I'd recommend getting a copy of the owner's manual and going over it good to understand how things are supposed to work on it, take a look at parts lists and diagrams to familiarize yourself with how things go together and check prices on the parts you know you are going to need up front to decide if it would be cost effective to bring it back to life.
Let us know how things go.
