i just purchased a used Toro TimeCutter Z5020. The mower cuts fine until the pumps get hot and it stops pulling. The oil has already been changed and it didn't make any difference. What should I try next?
That's what I'm afraid of. It does seem to loose a little oil after getting hot. Is it worth the cost or replacing the pumps, or should I just buy another mower? Is it common for both pumps go out at the same time? I have a cub cadet that has fire damage, any chance those pumps would work on the Toro? Thanks for the advice!
I work on a lot of these. I had a similiar problem and found that the little hydro release levers by the rear wheels were stuck and not closing all the way.
