Hi from Australia
I have a Toro Wheelhorse 244-H. The other day when I looked under the seat to check the transmission oil I noticed that all the blades have fallen of the fan. Incredible! I've only had it 21 years!
I got a replacement from my dealer but I notice in the manual it says that replacement involves " a significant amount of disassembly" and recommends the dealer do it. My dealer is 50 miles away and charges like a wounded bull so I would rather do it myself. The parts list just shows a bolt going down through the fan and pulley. Has anyone replaced one of these and can tell me why Toro think it should be done by the dealer?
There were two types of fan setups used on this Wheelhorse. Post the model number of the unit. Majority use a fan that is easy to replace, but a few need a dealers help.
This one you can replace yourself. Soak that bolt holding the fan on with a penetrating oil for a couple of days to make it easier. Once you get the old one off, bolt the new one on.
