HOW TO Make a Toro Personal Pace Mower Go FASTER! // Easy DIY Self-Propel Adjustment 

Wish I saw this an hour ago. Just mowed my entire yard at a snails pace when I could have been done 30 minutes ago! Took 2 minutes to adjust. Thank you!

I cannot wait to adjust this… I remember when I first got this mower secondhand, but in great shape two years ago… And as you described, it has gotten slower and slower to the point where I’m really not working with a self-propelled situation… I cannot wait to do this and mow my lawn tomorrow! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge!

WOW !! Less than two minutes into this video I had a good idea as to how to make the adjustment. My brother gave me a very nice personal-pace Toro, but I had to push-assist it to make it go uphill. Well, not anymore! And it is a lot faster on the flat, too! TY, Mr Greg!

Love it! Short, sweet, salient - the best kind of instructional video. Thought I was going to have to disassemble the mower and replace a belt, so this was a pleasant surprise. Might have to even dial it back a bit, as she wants to really giddy-up and go now!

Man super helpful !!!!, glad it was so easy

Yes, that was an awesome tip! I had to replace a broken accelerator cable, but thought it might go faster by pulling it up... Thank you very much Mr. Greg!!

Nice, it worked. Now I am running with it. Lol Thank you.

thank u mr greg.cant wait to go make the adjustment.keep up the good work

Worked great! Thanks

Great tip. Thank you.

Great tip. Thanks.

Worked for me. Thanks

Really helpful

Perfect! Thanks!!

That was easy! Ty!!

EXCELLENT, thank you.

I was wondering why I had to push it after changing that cable . Thank you so much

Mr Greg's you gained a new sub

Outstanding ! Your advice fixed me right up. Thanks

Thank you!!🙂

0:50 that's a super gay walk and 1:00 that's a hilariously super gay walk! Thanks for the laugh, buddy. I needed that. 🤣😂

Thank you.

There is a wheel lock that will lock a back wheel when I go to turn the mower 180degrees. Is there a way to disable that?

thank you sir

Is there a way to ramp up the idle or blade speed? Bought the 153 or 156 thinking the higher CC wouldn’t bog down as much. Not even mowing overkill grass.

I can adjust the cable, but I get a grinder like noise. I assume from the drive box, this is happening either way! If I tighten it too much it doesn’t drive the wheels evenly and the mower pulls one way or the other! Any thoughts?

I have a 2007 Toro Super Recycler Personal Pace Lawn Mower. I can not figure out were the bolt is. Is it by the ignition toggle switch? It feel like I am pushing it. I have to push the bolt down for it to go faster. But I can not find it. Good review I will ask my neighbor tomorrow if he can figure out where it is.

Im short and want to be able to mow with the bar that is straight because its lower. Any ideas? I was thinking of getting some kind of clasp. Im not used to this mower. My other one was self propelled a d had one pushing bar. I dont like how the curved push bar goes up and down. Maybe I just need to get used to it. But yeah I want to use the straight handle bar to push... Hope this makes sense. Im like 5 ft tall. This video helped also because I did not feel it self propelling very much. We just out it together. It works very well though.

Good morning from NC Mr.G. I haven’t noticed mine slowing down yet but I will be checking it out. Thx for the info. I haven’t scanned the QR code yet but it can’t hurt to go online & see what the company has to say . I’m on here looking for the oil type & amount. Type would be good enough, I can just put in the same amount I take out .The sticker on the deck says something like “no oil change needed “.any thoughts on that?my gut is telling me that is simply not a good idea…this is one of the best mowers I’ve ever had. I plan on making it last as long as possible. Want to do all the preventative maintenance that I can find or think of doing. Since you have had 2 ,maybe you know something that I don’t…yet..thx again and take care. Like & sub. With 13k subscribers,you are already at a point where you can start inquiring about freebies for testing. OR companies are contacting you..???.I would think.?.?. Curious about that..Enjoy the day.

Mine isn’t working when the mower is on the ground. I replaced the cable and now it seems like the cable may be too long. If I pull it by hand, it won’t work but when I raise the mower and pull it by hand the wheels move. Any ideas what it may be? It’s like it doesn’t have enough power to pull it??

Didn't work for mine. Just made the drive belt squeal. I'll continue to search for the solution.

I recently had mine serviced and now when I try to pull the mowed backwards the wheels remain locked. Do you have a video on that?

Does faster mean more traction?

😂😂

I’m tired of Toro relying on their past reputation from the 1970s

The most lousy lawnmower our family has ever purchased. 😡 Got a Toro Recycler in 2010 and had nothing but problems. IT NEVER WORKED RIGHT FROM THE TIME WE BOUGHT IT NEW AND TOOK IT OUT OF THE BOX, even after checking the filter, checking and replacing the oil, changing the blade. All it did was bog down and stall and leave clumps of grass. It guzzled gas like no tomorrow and blew the exhaust in the face of the person using the mower. Lousy engineering. Poor quality. It would not cut through tall wet grass without stalling and both of our craftsman mowers could do that no problem whatsoever. So glad we sold it.
