Where is the safety switch to engage the blade
Your lawn tractor will have a lever that raises and lowers the mower deck which houses the two cutting blades. By lowering your mower deck to the desired cutting height, the blades should automatically engage. By raising the deck back to it's highest position, the blades will automatically disengage. Should be simple enough. You can consult your mower manual. If you don't have one, you can easily find it online using the make, model and year of the lawn tractor.
Michael, Can you explain how this is happen a little clearer. Is it where you engage the PTO lever and the deck simply don't engage or is Shutting down the engine? The MTDs PTO cables are bad to go bad and hang up on engagement or it can idler assembly refusing to move in certain positions due to rust and dirt.
