My old lawnmower broke because it couldn't handle the abuse. The ball bearings are shot, and the engine is dying.

A John Deere, a Cub Cadet ( home depot) if your yard is large enough. If all you need is a self propelled walking mower then Honda makes some really good ones. Craftsmen makes good tools but I never had a lawn mower last longer than 3 seasons that why I went with a Honda 6 years ago.

How is it possible for the wheels of a car to be stationary while its engine is running?

How can a car's wheels not move while the engine is running AND engaged to the transmission? Shouldn't this damage the engine? For example, if I'm using automatic transmission and I shift into drive, the transmission should be engaged, right? But the car doesn't move unless I step on the accelerator even when the engine runs. Another example is when I'm driving up a steep hill and I step on the accelerator slightly. The engine will rev up, but the car will stay in place or even go backwards. How is this even possible without the engine, gears, axles, etc. getting destroyed?
Answer
No this is normal, What is working here is the torque converter. It takes the place of a clutch in a manual transmission. It is like a centrifugal clutch you would find on an old mini bike, go cart, or lawn mower. Inside the torque converter their are two opposing turbines that resemble the turbines of a jet engine. Submerged in oil, when the engine spins the turbines are rushed with oil, turning the turbines. These are splined into shafts from the transmission now turning the input shaft making the car go. When the engine is running, the car is in gear, and your foot on teh brake with the car at a stop, their is NOTHING in the transmission that is moving, except the pump. I tried to explain this as simply as I can, if you want a more in depth on how a transmission and torque converter works, let me know..
