Thanks. This is helpful. Mine is a model 452G709 - very similar to this one, but with a Briggs OHV engine. I bought it in 2007. I have never changed the blades, and today, after trimming some dead limbs from a Japanese red maple tree, I REALLY need new blades. Now I see that this is a straightforward process.
I think the original part blades are probably better than some after market replacement blades you find online.Original part is about $50.00 per blade and some online replacements are $15.00. There must be a difference in hardness and quality for that price difference.
Thanks for posting this video. It gives me a full idea of how to replace my MTD Chipper/Shredder machine. By the way, where did you order the blade? Do you think you can link me to these parts? Thanks in advance. Cheers
Hey buddy just look where your oil fill is there is two bolts and two at the bottom the tank will slide to your right then it will come off and the rest you will see . Note when readjusting the coil take a business card place over the magnet and slide the coil till it touches the card and tighten it up if you still have no spark disconnect the plug to your kill switch and you will have spark but you will have to disconnect spark plug boot to shut it off you should have a rubber boot on it so you will be fine to touch it to unplug it ONLY IF THE RUBBER BOOT IS ON IT ONLY

I used several and the $15 blades did hold up fine.
What was that nut that fell off. Did you replace the shredder blade too?
The nut is for rod to hold up the chute.

I found the blade with search for MTD online, but a local shop also had the blades I think they do mailorder if you still need it.
Any video on how to remove the gas tank and replace the coil please? Thanks
Thats would be by a small engine guy.
