Reel Mower Blades Don't Engage and Spin

I have a push reel lawn mower. The blades are not engaging to spin and cut the grass. The gears are on the sides of the wheels, but I haven't opened them yet. I wanted to wait until I got some more information. Can I repair it myself? It is a Scott's 20 inch reel lawn mower (no motor) it is the push type.

Hardiness Zone: 6a

Take it apart to learn more about it. Adjust the cutter bar for even contact with the reel blades. Good luck.
