Sounds like your engine may be seized up. Mine did the same thing and I had to replace the block. If any dirt gets past the air cleaner or if your fuel mixture isn't right it won't take long to lock it up. If you need info on where to find parts, let me know. Good luck.
did you open the choke all the way? also, what was the temperature when you attempted this at the onset? if it is cold outside, then set the tiller in the sun for at least a half hour then try starting.
Change the plug and filter anyway. Cost is minimum and is the first thing a small engine shop will do. If this doesn't fix it check your belt on the drive to the tines. Could be to tight.
then you need to open the gear box and find out why if it has a forward and reverse the the shifting linkage it could be stuck in one gear and adding the other will lock it up as well
