This a john deere L110.

Sounds like you pulled out the free wheeling lever when you changed the tire ---- push it back in ---- or at least check it. It's that thing that looks like a wire sticking out of the rear frame.

If it isn't the free wheeling lever, then as mentioned in another post, probably the key that slides in the slot in the axle dropped out, and wasn't noticed when putting the wheel back on the axle. It is about 2" long and 1/4" square, or close to that.

If it is lost, it is part no. M82401
