Craftsman rear tine tiller

If you cant move the tines by hand then I wouldn't think you sheared the pins, more like a gear box problem.

I have a Yard Machine rear tine tiller that has sat unused for 4 years. I replaced the engine and while in goes forward and backward, when I engage the tines they won't rotate and the engine bogs

Transmission/differential.
Perhaps the unit sat for 4 years because the tines would not turn and your replacement engine has not solved the real problem.
I'd say disassemble the chain case to discover what's locking the tine drive.

That sounds like a "look see". Unless something has wrapped itself around one of the shafts causing resistance (Like a wire, or nylon twine or even certain types of vines...you'd be surprised how well they can hide around tiller shafts both drive and tines causing all types of hidden issues) it may need lubrication. But from here...I'm blind and deaf on this one. Sorry but I'd have to be there with you on one like this.
