Outdoor Power Equipment (Lawn Mowers, Snow Blowers, Chain Saws and more) Discussions

Hello All,
First time on here.  I have an older MTD and I pulled it out to use it the other day and it started up just fine.  It was used a couple weeks ago.  When I pulled the lever to engage the auger, the engine died and it would not start back up.  The pull cord is hard to pull and the auger won't turn by hand.  Any ideas?  Your help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Mark
