    MTD 5HP Tiller Blades Not Engaging
    After power up, using the transmission lever, I have neutral, forward and reverse but I can not engage the blades (runs exactly like the forward).
    Any clue on how to fix it?

    MTD tiller have two things that could cause this. There is a drive belt to the transmission that could be off or the shear pin to the tiller axle is sheared.
