my 22 inch self propel toro does not self propel any more possible reasons?

My experience with the Toro's, and this has happeneded with two Toro's that I have, is that the self-propelled feature fails due to drive belt wear caused by twigs getting jammed in the mechanism. There are do-it-yourself videos on Youtube for fixing this; or elect the other option of bringing to a service shop and having them do it- usually about a $70 repair for new belt and labor. Alternatively, just get a new mower that is not a Toro. I have never had similar issues with any of my other non-Toro lawnmowers. Good Luck.

I haven't experienced that dreaded occurance yet, but it seems you'd have to take the auger/blades out at one end or the other somehow. If you're handy, I'd start by seeing if there is a way in through one end/side of the blade housing or the other, and if there is a belt pulley inside that needs to come off to free-up the axle the blades are on. Be sure to remember where parts come from(maybe draw a picture), so you can put it all back together. Otherwise, it may be a chore for the Toro dealer in your area. Good luck.

you need to research your engine...find out who makes it...then go from there...this part has 3 brackets that attach to engine...inside is a wheel that has a compressed ribbon spring that retracts the pull string and 2 fingers that extract to grab hold of flywheel when pulling...other than that i have no idea who makes toro motors...i have seen slightly different setups on other brands like briggs and stratton...hope this helps

It appears that the deck is stamped steel. Y es mower can be used without self propel, but is a bit heavy. however the self -propel is variable and works OK on my mower. Make sure you check the oil regularly. Good Luck

I'm not an expert but I think there might be something wrong with the gear mechanism. My wheels are locked and do not move unless hooked to hose. I don't think your wheels should move freely if not hooked to hose. You might want to contact Orbit. You can reach them at 1-800-488-6156 or www.orbitonline.com

I do not know the Toro configurationThe fit problem will be at the blade opening. Go to a dealer, check out similar mowers. I believe the MTD lower tube is like the Cadet. Note the U-shaped bracket on lower back - that is where it all hangs.

With mine to first start it, turn it to full choak, and to a lower speed and pull once. Keep on lower speed but switch to half choak and pull, and it should start. May need to repeat a couple times.

Karen: Can you be more detailed with your symptioms, please? * Was the engine running when it shut down? * Did it stop at once, like you turned off the switch, or loose power and sptit and sputter before stoppong/ * Will the engine crank with the starter when you turn the switch? First, eliminate the obvious" * Did it run out of gas? Open the tank to insure there is gas in the tank. You may need a clean stick to reach to the bottom. * Do the headlights work? * Does the starter work, or is it dead too? * Dose your mower have a fuel shutoff valve? Is it open? (handle aligned with the fuel line) * Check the parking brake: Up to start, down to run. * Also, won't start with PTO engaged. Make sure it's pushed in all the way. * Raise the seat and look for any loose wires or connection. * Make sure your battery cables are tight at both the battery and the tractor ends. It's bound to be something simple. Oh, yes: What brand and model is the motor? It will likely be a Koeler Comand Pro model, or a Kawasaki engine. Write back with the answers and if you don't find it yourself before hand, we will continue our search. Regards; Mike G.

I found that I had to have my device at least three (3) trunk diameters away to prevent turbulence for causing it to act up. You might try moving it a little further away from the furnace and making sure you have a good seal around it (another issue). I also took a small piece of flexible hose and attached it to the pick up that goes into the trunk. Cutting the hose at a 45° angle and facing the open end of the cut toward the air flow, improved the response.

Sylvia, I installed it on a 42" Toro and had to make some mods to make it fit. It may fit a 60" but I would be prepared to make some modifications.

Hi J.A. I haven't done it, probably overdue. Checked online manuals, and realised the Toro manual doesn't have it, because its part of the engine and therefore, the engine manual would cover it. I searched online and found this link. Its not that great a production video, but it gives some insight into where and how to change it. If you searched longer, you may find better videos.

You might want to check that you don't have some of the vermiculite blocking the gas flow. Ours works fantastic and has for years.

It is inconsistent. you have to check the openings as occasionally you have to return because some come blocked. Just check it carefully. When you get a good line the information on the Toro website is correct. the 1/2 inch is better and more consistent.

My guess is that you cranked it up to high. Try stopping before you reach the very top and then backing the crank off, as it advises in the instructions.

The cap is supposed to act like a seperator of sorts , first make sure the system has zero PSI , or maybe some thing is wrong with the cap ,opening to small or large. Call distributor they have parts and answers

I don't really know. Get in touch with a Toro dealer and they should know. However I would not get a front wheel drive mower. They are not good with traction once the bag starts filling. The high wheel models are of no advantage. Get a rear wheel drive personal pace model. I've had mine for 8 years now and would buy another in a heartbeat. The bag I bought is without fault.

Make sure the choke is not jammed. Try and move it by hand at the motor. I use premium gas also. Good Luck.
