StarTech, good comments and I always do a lot of surfing the net looking for the best price. I think at the time I was checking prices, eBay, Amazon, and overall search on the PN the best price I found was on eBay. I think the best price I found at the time was $90 but it had shipping charges...

Will, picked up the part today and I'm back in business. The pricing of the JD parts is interesting. I have 3 dealers with about a 25 mile radius. The largest one quoted me a price 15% over the standard JD price of $110.61, and the second one quoted it at 10% over the price. My closest local...

Will you must be Clairvoyant! ;) I went out about 30 minutes ago and you were right, the wire was on the right side tucked behind the starter. It started right up with it disconnected and it quit as soon as I snapped the wires back together. It looks like the going rate is $110.61 and my...

Thanks will, I’ll check that tomorrow in the daylight when I can see a little better. So you say the interlock module has been a problem on the X300s, do the replacement modules last longer? I googled up the parts for it last night and if I had the right one it’s roughly $100. Pricey, I hope...

Not a problem on the fuel filter Will. So I just got time to check out some things on the mower. I do here a click in the front near the carb so I'm "assuming" that is the fuel solenoid you mentioned. I found two different black wires on the side of the engine. One was small and it went to...

Thanks Will, I will so some checks with what you have told me. I don't understand how the fuel will gravity feed into the filter because on mine the filter looks like it is higher than the fuel tank. This happened once before and I changed the filter although as I remember it didn't look bad...

I was having trouble searching for a starting problem on my X300 and saw this post. I hadn't seen the trick about blowing into the gas tank or to check my choke position but I will do that when the weather breaks. I haven't used the X300 for probably 2 1/2 months and it cranks fine but won't...

That blade driver is quite rugged looking but the key in it looks kind of delicate. I don't know why you would need to replace them unless you were prone to hitting a lot of immovable objects like rock, stumps, or boundary markers. They must need to be replaced a lot because when I Googled...

No, I didn't take a picture of the belt guide but it was there along with the grass shield

It as interesting to read this Post because I've had trouble with my Super Recycler trying to start it when it's already been running. Rivets has given me some comments in the past. I've been told at least in the case of the John Deere Riding mowers sold at HD, they are not the same as the ones...

I have a 2020 Toro Super Recycler, Electric Start and the drive belt slipped off the engine pulley for some reason. The last time I used it was on some on-even ground, grass wasn’t very tall but the traction was fine as I remember. My wife used it the other day and complained she had to do a lot...

I meant to post this previously to close out this post of how hard it was to pull the mower backwards. I tried several adjustments and didn’t feel I got anywhere and then solicited some thoughts from a cousin with lots of mechanical experience. Still no luck. I think I mentioned I had replaced...

Thanks Rivets and sgkent. I'm probably 2 weeks or so away from cutting any grass but I will look for the choke position the next time I use it. This is my second Toro Super Recycler, the first one lasted about 20 years so I'm used to keeping plenty of air filters handy.

My Toro 20384 with electric start, is 3 years old and it starts fine at the beginning of mowing the lawn but if I shut it down after its hot, it often has to crank several times before it will start. Sometimes it doesn’t want to start at all. If I use the pull starter it takes one or two pulls...

I just don't understand why, after cleaning up both rear wheel drive mechanisms, (washers, axle, wheels, keys, pinion gear, etc.), adding a small amount of lubricant, why the mower still has a fair amount of resistance when you pull the mower backwards?! It doesn't make sense. Even after...

Rivets, thanks for the link. I’ve read and re-read that adjustment and don’t feel a big difference after adjusting but it seems to be a little better. I also looked at some YouTube videos as well but I still think the adjustment is a little subjective.

Interesting issue. The way the battery fits in my HRR216, it’s hard to believe somebody could hook it up wrong. It has a firm plastic, double spade connector that looks like it should only push on to the battery one way. Either somebody put a different battery in with the terminals reversed or...

One last comment about the mower battery. As near as I can determine, my MIL has never bought a battery for this mower since it was new, about 10 years ago. It hasn't been charged/used for about six months and the battery had just enough charge to kick the new starter in and start the mower...

Thanks for the hint. I tried this adjustment yesterday but I didn't have much time to fuss with it and I was trying to fully understand the adjustment. I had to put it away and move on to something else I had to do.

I put the mower all back together and like bertsmobile suggested, I just used CRC White Lithium Grease, judiciously, and let it set before I assembled the pieces. I also replaced the belt while I had it all apart. So I'm happy with the result and now know that I should plan on doing this to...

Interesting Bertsmobile1. I think I have some chain lube, I may try that. I also have some brand of dry lubricant, I can't remember which one. This mower gets used, now don't laugh, by my 94 yo MIL normally twice a week for probably an hour or more, during the mowing season. She has a...

Rivets and Bertsmobile1. I heartily agree that grease will pick up dirt and grit but I need to put something on them because they were all rusted and dry on the right wheel. The last two Toro mowers I have had, have zerk fittings on both rear wheel mechanisms, to periodically grease them. The...

The right rear drive wheel pinion, bushing, key, and spring were all rusted up and frozen. I pulled both rear wheels apart and cleaned up all of the parts now I'm wondering what is the best grease to use in the rear wheel parts. Wheel bearing grease, regular moly type grease that you grease...

Ok guys, I don't have a clue why the starter motor wasn't working but I decided the only thing to do was to buy another motor. I had tried two different fully charged batteries, one car battery and the other a motorcycle battery and neither one would spin the starter drive into the flywheel...

StarTech: I didn't check it with the charged up motorcycle battery but with the mower battery in place it had been 10.4-5 volts at the battery. It had dropped about 2 volts.

Scrubcadet. I decided to use a motorcycle battery that had been on my Battery Tender because the lawn mower battery has been sitting for 5-6 months. The motorcycle battery was reading 12.4-5 volts at the battery and checking the voltage at the starter was 9.7 volts and the starter drive was...

The mower is listed as a "HRR216K9 VLA MZCG-8865322" . When I look up any parts I find a 216K9 VLAA mower but only shows the VLA on the data plate sticker, not VLAA. Starter part number I find is a 31200-Z0L-822. I've got to figure how to get my leads on the starter motor while it is...

I've read the posts I could find on this problem but nothing I read is very specific. This HRR216 mower belongs to an elderly relative, is about 10 years old, is used a lot each summer, and last fall the starter stopped engaging the fly wheel. It starts fine with the pull rope. I have now...

Many thanks to getting the rear axle back together correctly.....at least I think I did! It seemed to be better after assembly. This blurb may be better in another post but while I was working on the old mower my wife started talking about getting a new mower! I like Honda products and really...

Thanks Rivets.

Thanks Rivets. Should I put a light coat of grease on these wheel parts as well?

I have a 20042 Super Recycler that I have owned since new 2003. The rear wheels haven't been disengaging when you pull back on it so I have pulled it apart, cleaned all of the little pieces up and putting it back together. I'm confused about which way the "washer, thrust, keyed" (as it is...
