Some have a left hand thread. If it won't open one way, try the other way. Or look at the way the blade rotates in use. The way it turns tightens it. Video help here https://www.google.com/search?q=remove+the+blade+on+my+mastercraft+push+mower ..

How is the drive belt?

Contact MTD directly to request the manual.

yes

Make sure that the oil level is not too high. If the blade hit something, it will change the engine timing,which will cause the handle to pull like that. To check to see if the shaft is bent, UNPLUG the spark plug wire!!! Turn the mower on it's side (KEEP the carb side up!)Pull the rope and have a helper watch the shaft. If it's bent, buy a new engine, It will cast about $120-$180 to rebuild the old engine.

I had the same problem with the shifter cable braking.They were very expensive to replace.My cable tube(the outer part with the adjustable nuts) was still good.The cable itself was broken.I went to the nieghborhood hardware store and bought a length of cable of the correct size.I then used an electrical eyelet at each end (the eyelet has place to slide wire into it then it get crimped to hold the wire,also it has a hole in it so a screw or bolt can go through to hold it in place.I connected an eyelet to one end of cable,2nd I fed the cable through the tube,3rd, I put a screw through the hole were the cable connect to the shift linkage(@ trans),4th placed the eyelet on the screw 5th then placed the nut on the screw .At end of cable where shift nob is I placed an eyelet where the cable originally went,Pulled the new cable through taking out ALL the slack,Marked cable then crimped it,placed nut on screw.It works like new.MAKE SURE THE LINKAGE and SHIFT NOB ARE IN NUTURAL POSITION
