bought a new old toro

[exotion]

I decided to buy an older toro model 20622 has a yamaha engine with a 3 speed trans and a blade brake. Included was a comlete second yamaha engine for parts and it only cost 125 total

Runs beautiful I think it needs a few little adjustments that I can do over time definitely needs a new blade and new drive wheels but overall I am very excited I don't know a single thing with this old yamaha engine anything I should know?

Nevermind the engine seized... no idea why oil is good gas is good it ran good then it started sputtering then seize... the guy I bought it from is going to come put the other engine on it and test that if that does work I'm getting my money back

I have a similar model. My dad bought it in the spring of 1985. It runs like a top had a few minor things repaired but it mows great! It uses a Suzuki 2 cycle engine.

So the 4hp engine that was on there bent a rod and wouldn't let the piston move.

He replaced it with the 5hp version he gave me for parts and it did the same thing took the whole engine apart cleanedit up and inspected it found out it has a metal cam and a oil pump very nice

He had used parts from the 4hp to fix the valves on the 5hp it took a while to adjust as he didn't have valve specs but got it running good now and I am excited to use it tomorrow.

I am going through it and am wondering what toro wheels can be used to replace the drive wheels on mine they are pretty shot. It also needs new blade and a new bbc pad. Anyone have a source for these parts I will go through my dealer but he's usually quite expensive
