      If the wheels or tines on your Cub Cadet Tiller won't turn, first ensure you are using the controls correctly. Next, check the drive belts for wear, breakage, or misalignment; replace or adjust them as needed. Also, inspect the transmission pulley for looseness and tighten the bolt if necessary. If these steps don't resolve the issue, it could be due to internal transmission damage, in which case you should contact an authorized service dealer.
