Toro Recycler That Won't Go. Can We Fix It? 

That black oil draining out tells me there must have been nothing but sludge in the bottom of that crankcase. Poor mistreated mower! I hang onto used oil just for topping up depleted machines like this so I don’t waste new oil. Run it hot, drain and fill with the good stuff. 🔧👍

I believe that the drive gears are labeled/stamped right and left to help get them on correctly. I also like to put a little oil in the drive axle trans and wheel bearing when I have the machine on its side. As for value, in my market (Chicagoland) the Toro would sell for at least $150.00. Good video.

Nice! I’d probably price that one at around $150-175, so it was definitely worthwhile to give it a second life (hopefully to be treated better!).

It had seen a rough life indeed but thanks to you it lives on for someone to use. God bless to you as well.
