I guess no one has had this issue.....almost 200 reads and no comments. I'm going to try threadlocker on the issue, as vibration was something I hadn't considered and the threads on the nut, and on the pivot arm look okay

Hi all, Just replaced the belt on the above captioned mower, and made sure all bolts were tight, however the rear left wheel keeps loosening and falling off. I suspect that the threads on the pivot arm may be stripped,but it shows no sign of this visually.....anyone else had this problem or have...

Hi all, Took this mower apart to install a new belt, and because it took 3 weeks to arrive I've forgotten how the spring goes on the bag hatch. Anyone offer some help? Thanks.

So to update that last statement....don't believe everything you're told, even by a Toro dealer. When I got home I sprayed Move It down the shaft and the driver spacer came out with a little persuasion....and there ,low and behold, was the key on the inside of the blade driver....the driver...

FYI....just came from the Toro dealer.....this blade driver has a driver spacer installed in the bottom....the little key is situated below the spacer which is why I couldn't see it. It is not designed to go into the keyway....this blade driver is friction fit.....

Thanks Guys...Star Tech .....you're right....mine looks exactly like the photo where the pulley is one piece with the blade driver. I guess I'll be ordering a new one :) I just thought there'd be at least some evidence on the inside face if there had been one.

Just replaced the belt on the above model, and noticed when I took all apart that the blade driver has no protrusion inside to fit the key way on the drive shaft. Just wondering if its sheared as I see no evidence of there having been one ....perhaps this is why it's not self propelling? Should...

Thanks ILENGINE...yes, that washer looks exactly the same.....I was confused by the location and didn't realize that the same washer was used in a different location. Appreciate your patience.

In the photo I've included, you're looking towards the body of the mower....so the wheel actually goes onto the axle after the pinion gear which is the held on by a circlip......so the wheel goes on from the bottom of the photo Where you describe the part you refer to is on the inside of the...

ILENGINE.....no, this is not the part or the location. These wheels have never been off the mower, and the current position of the fiber washer would be between part # 16 and 17....thats where its located on the opposite wheel.

Thanks Rivets....can you tell me where you found that part number.....here's a screen shot of my attempt to find it on the Toro website.

Sorry Rivets....working on two mowers at once here and gave the wrong model and serial numbers.....old age sucks!!!! :) the washer is from a Model 20374 serial # 405360514...the washer still does not show on parts diagrams for this mower.....what would happen if I didn't replace it?? Thanks

ILENGINE.....pinion gear does indeed have two flat sides....this washer simply prevents dirt getting into the shaft bushing. Auto Doc....great idea, thanks

Hi all, I need to replace the fiber washer in the photos....it was destroyed trying to get the pinion gear off the axle. I have researched extensively on line with no success....no parts diagram of this model shows any washer at all for this model. Can I just use a fiber washer that fits the...

Hi all, Have replaced fuel filter, lines, plug, air filter and carb on the above captioned blower.....it started at first after the new carb, but now will not start. Anyone have an idea what H and L should be set at for this blower? Currently both out at 1 1/2 turns. Thanks
