did you try pulling out the spark plugs and turning the engine by hand to see if it locked up?  Or maybe a bad ground, but that doesnt explain the wheel locking up like that.

Don't worry about putting the carbs back on if the motor won't turn over, find what's stopping it!
Could be faulty starter clutch, valve problem, seized, goats (do search here). Pull exhaust to see if valces look OK. Pull left case to check alternator, see if you can turn it over with spanner there.???
