How I fixed this DEAD Toro Zero Turn | $100 Zero Turn | Garage Story 

Awesome just a fuse got it running and the grass mowed!! I have a Toro zero Turn 2yrs old..Works great so Far!!

For DIY guys with the Briggs and Scrapiron V Twin motors, if you have a no start, feel the fuel cutoff solenoid when you turn the key on. It should click. If it doesn't, I get my 1/2 inch wrench and turn the solenoid out. See if the plunger moves by hand. If it is stuck, do yourself a favor and order a new solenoid! It will stick again! They get rust inside. Even if you get a bit of oil to go down and make it smooth you will go out on a day you undoubtedly have no spare time and that @*$# solenoid will shure enough be siezed. If you decide to rebuild the carbeurator and the jets do not just fall out, the O-Rings are most likely ok! But, you may find the O-Rings in the kit are too large! The best way to tell is take the 4 loop (O-Ring) seal from fuel tube and compare O-Ring from the kit with the smaller of the quad O's. If the O-Rings in the kit are bigger, do not try and replace them with the kit supplied ones if they're too big! You will just end up either buying new jets or the jet kit which is $15 minimum and a long, slow boatride from China! Good Luck out there!!!

My son had no problem putting it together

Cool find.

This a very nice video to watch and learn 💪

I have a craftsman zero turn mower model number 247.25001 and I have replaced all the safety switches and the solenoid and it still doesnt start when I put the handles against the safety switch the meter doesnt show power,but when I let one side off the switch the hour meter will show numbers again and still won;t start,any help would be appreciated,I do know it is an electrical issue

Those back wheels look really crooked. Great video!

another new subscriber here, nice informative video, looking forward to watching your other vids, out of interest what software do you use to edit your videos ?, like the way you added a picture of the Toro at 24 seconds..thanks

Left tire is bent outward.

looks like the left rear tire is bent

How did you pull it out with straps. I’m need to pull dead mower out of yard, back to garage with Polaris. Not sure what to strap onto. I know you need to release levers of hydraulics and brakes. Going out today to try to move it. Just not sure what to tie onto to pull it

I have owned a toro time cutter for many years and it has been rock solid. Loop a wire under the seat. May be the issue. I cut with mine yesterday and it still cuts good. The Kawasaki motor is the beast also

Mines is having the same issue but my fuse always blows when I turn the key and cannot figure out why

That was satisfying to watch! It's always cool to find the exact thing you're looking for among things you already have and then have it turn out so well.

Hey my name is Addison and I have a 2013 John deere riding lawn mower I don't know what's wrong with it

I have an SS5500 TORO. Great Machine for mowing our 2.5 acres. We were having no-start troubles. Just a single click when trying to start. After a few tries it would usually start. If I jumped it with my truck, it would fire up immediately. Do I thought it might be a dead cell on the battery. But battery checked out like new. So, I got to thinking about the starter solenoid. I shorted it and it fired right up! Replaced it with Toro OEM Solenoid and it now starts perfectly every time. Still can’t figure out why, with a bad solenoid, it would start with a boost from truck or charger. One comment on the video… when you shorted the solenoid and it turn over strong but wouldn’t start, my very first thought would be FUEL. So that ground be my first step in trouble shooting. But I learned something from you today! You got a heck of a deal for $150. Our 55 inch was $3000 new. Four years and, except for the solenoid, no problems.

I have an older Toro zero turn, looks like the one in the video, maybe a bit older. We tried to cut the grass today, got two swipes and it started smoking underneath where the pulleys are. It has oil on it as well but we don’t see an oil leak. Our main question, is it worth putting a new pulley on if that’s what’s causing the smoke?

Nothing like picking up an engine on the side of the road and getting it running.

hey man i have a 2008 toro z4200 42" with Kohler 19 courage. can the transmission fluid be changed ? my lh tranny has a bit of gear chatter going on when cold. i have owned this since new and the trans have never had anything done to them but it only gets used to cut my own yard

A friend has the 50” version. Decent mower. Gets the job done. Like your style. Just subscribed!

You got a still of a deal dude ! I have one of those coast 3000 dollars ! Wow hounded and 50 dollars. . You are blessed my man ! One question though how come you put the mower in the back of your truck instead of the trailer you were pulling ? I gotta know man .

It’s always nice when it’s something as simple as a fuse :-) Good diagnostic quick video :-)

I was yelling through my monitor to let you know about the fuses under the control panel. Those Toro's are notorious for blowing those 30 amp

Not bad!

A blown fuse being The problem with the mower that was a easy fix

I have one just like it. I have a problem with it, it cuts off on idle at low speed. Gotta put it partially on choke. I adjusted the valves and but it still does it. What could it be.

YOU make know there's nice deals out there still ❤

The Kohler motor is a piece of junk. The crankcase is held together with the bolts on the top cover and they work loose. You have to keep those suckers really tight put some Loctite on them if you haven't cracked the block already. The deck is flimsy if you run into a lot of stumps it will actually roll over and hit the blade. welded up a new one out of 1/8 steel and angle. Used rebar to make a bumper. Now I call it the farm deck. After 15 years I re powered with the Harbor Freight Predator motor and I had to make very few modifications. I wouldn't trade my Toro in this condition for anything. It runs over small logs and makes them mulch or just kicks them out. I made an attachment for the deck like a little snow plow off the side and I use it for refilling ditches that I make with my trenching machine. It'll refill a ditch in 3 passes faster than I can walk LOL make your own deck. If you reply and you need a little information I can send you a picture Maybe.

Awesome 👍👍👍
