    Just starting the research phase of a ZTR purchase

    I would suggest Toro MyRide system, great for your back. Make sure you take a test ride after checking this site. https://www.toro.com/en/homeowner/riding-mowers/timecutter-mowers?CurrentPage=1&filter=a77f0334-62ec-4fcf-ab2d-623593288648-filtertext-TimeCutter+MyRide#content

    2016 Troy Bilt 15.5 B&S riding lawnmower

    Did you check to see if the magnets on the new flywheel were in the exact same location as the old flywheel in reference to the keyway? More than once I’ve seen a DIY guy replace a flywheel with magnets in a different location. You still get spark, but at the wrong time.

    Why do ignition points need so much attention these days?

    Any time I change points I always spray with brake cleaner, then blow them off with air before installing the cover. That way I know everything is clean and dry.

    Honda or Toro

    Replaced too many of them. The cause was not dirt or sand. Cause was wrong size gears and axle alignment.

    XT1 rear axle replacement

    Star, do the units with 42”, 46”, and 50” decks all use the same tranny?. I don’t like wasting my time looking up each model to answer this question, as my crystal ball is out of order. If the OP wants help he can supply us with numbers. This will also tell us if he is smart enough to open a...

    XT1 rear axle replacement

    Post the model and serial numbers for your unit. We hate it when we have to guess which one of the hundred different models branded as Cub Cadet. Will tell you that on 99% of the models you have to remove the transmission and open it up to replace an axle.

    Honda or Toro

    The drive wheels on a Toro are different than those on other mowers. They use a different size drive gear, less teeth, smaller gear size. Because of that the gear on the wheels are larger. Because of this the alignment between the drive gear and wheel gear has a closer tolerance. Toro’s...

    Honda or Toro

    Front wheel drive systems on the Toro 20377 are junk. You are lucky to get 2 years out of the drive wheels becausee t they have plastic gears, and against a metal drive gear. Depending on how much it is used I’ve seen them go out in 6 months This is the main reason I recommend keeping the...

    Leaking needle seat in B&S carb

    The needle and seat kit you are using contains a new needle, why aren’t you installing the new needle? Are you installing the seat with the ridges toward the carb body? I’ve found that it is better to test for leaks with the carb in the operating position, with fuel applying pressure on the...

    Electrical Enigma

    That terminal connection should have a plastic cover around it so it doesn’t short out when inserted into the square hole. The plastic cover, which is gone, holds the connector in the square hole. You can see black parts of it in your third picture. You can make your own connector, or...

    Toro LX 420

    That’s because those tractors were built for Toro for a couple of years before Toro decided to get out of the tractor line. In my opinion they were pieces of junk. Was working at a Toro dealership and we stoppped selling selling them. Think their experiment lasted five years. Warranty work...

    Craftsman push mower engine issue

    With the Briggs you replace both the needle and seat, which should get you very close to getting the float level. In my years I’ve figured out a way to adjust plastic floats, but I’m not going to post for all to see, as many DIY guys will not do it right and end up buying a new float.

    new shaft seal? Running rough and smoking

    You need to find the source of the leak first. First thing I would do is to pressure wash the entire unit and make everything is clean and very dry. Second I would run the unit looking for oil leaking out. From your pics it could be anywhere, from top ( lhead or valve cover gaskets) to bottom...

    Reduced rpm on Briggs Stratton 450E Mower

    That’s why I always say start with the simple things first. A couple of years experience have taught me to that. A no charge fix instead of an $$$$ inexperienced tech looking in the wrong direction. Glad you found the solution.

    Reduced rpm on Briggs Stratton 450E Mower

    Don’t go after the flywheel key until you check the easier external parts. I suspect the governor setup has changed, reducing rpm speed. Please post a couple of pics of the carb a governor linkage.

    Mountfield Emblem carb diaphragm and intake tube/manifold

    I suggest that you start by reading the section on carburation, section 3 in the manual I attached. Look carefully at the part which talks about how to preload the diaphragm while assembling. Second, yyou should check the levelness of the tank where the carb is mounted. If it is warped the...

    crankcase high pressure

    About 10 years ago I had this same problem and found that the oil return ports into the crankcase, behind the seals, were plugged. This would allow oil pressure to build up, blowing out the seal. Luckily I was doing this repair at home so I didn’t have to charge shop rate for 10-12 hours or...

    Toro Recycler Guaranteed to Start - Not

    With your serial number your unit is either a 2003 or 2013 model. If your model number ends in 2 or 3 your unit will probably have a Honda engine. If it ends with a 4 it will probably have a Lomcin engine. Here is a service manual for the Loncin engine. https://www.toro.com/getpub/70678...

    Toro Recycler Guaranteed to Start - Not

    You are missed thhe last number in the madel. I’m assuming you have a Honda engine so there are two things I would check. First check to see if the choke is fully closed at start up. If it is closing fully I would be cleaning and rebuilding the carb, making sure the the float level is set...

    Colour

    Don’t go to a paint store to find a color match. Go to an auto body shop, as their employees know how to match colors better than paint stores, plus their paint will be of a better quality. You will get what you pay for, as it may be more expensive.
