How to fix MTD Trimmer cutting attachment that will not advance?
If the cutting attachment on your MTD Trimmer will not advance, there are several potential causes. It could be bound with grass, so stop the engine and clean the cutting attachment. The cutting attachment might also be out of line, so refill it with new line. An inner reel could be bound up, in which case you should replace it. A dirty cutting head could also be the cause, so clean the inner reel and outer spool. If the line is welded, disassemble, remove the welded section, and rewind.
