    Figured it out. Key is one long key extending from clutch collar to reverse engagement gear. End of Key near reverse engagement gear was worn and slipping. Replaced key to fix.

I have an MTD husky 18-in rear tine tiller, my times turn backwards, but I have no forward or reverse in the transmission
There should be 5 positions for the gear selector.

Neutral
Reverse
Forward 1 wheels only
Forward 2 wheels and tines reverse rotation
Forward 3 wheels and tines forward rotation

If you have reverse tines only, then the problem is internal to the transmission. My guess is the wheel drive chain.

Craftsman rear tine tiller
If you cant move the tines by hand then I wouldn't think you sheared the pins, more like a gear box problem.

I have a Yard Machine rear tine tiller that has sat unused for 4 years. I replaced the engine and while in goes forward and backward, when I engage the tines they won't rotate and the engine bogs
Transmission/differential.
Perhaps the unit sat for 4 years because the tines would not turn and your replacement engine has not solved the real problem.
I'd say disassemble the chain case to discover what's locking the tine drive.

I have a MTD yard machine rear tine tiller. Goes forward and reverse but tines wont rotate. How do I fix?
You will have to get into the gearbox. It isn't too hard but is time consuming. Sounds like the drive for the tiller has broken. Could just be the chain in the gearbox for the tiller drive.

Yard Machines/Tiller
the tines are usually connected with shear bolts designed to break away when u hit something as a safety precaution so that u dont break anything in the transmission. its common that people dont know this and replace them with normal bolts. if this was done and the tines are not moving now chances are uve got a snapped gear shaft

Crt or srt tiller?
* CRT or SRT -- These are two terms you will see on rear-tine tillers only. o Counter Rotating Tines are best for heavier duty jobs and for breaking new ground. o Standard Rotating Tines are good for aerating the soil and help propel the tiller forward.
