If you are talking about lawnmowers then the drive path would start with the crankshaft,( the shaft that sticks out from the motor). This shaft turns the blade on a push mower and can also have pulleys attached to make it self propelled, this is the way riding mowers get their power to run the transmission and blade.

For drive-paths, read Transmission
It all depends on the mower’s cutting action. The two main types are:
1) Cylinder Reel 2) Rotary
