    BX2230 my first service

    Hi: I'm not a mechanic. Just want to be clear. I'm not going to take anything apart. But, have a couple questions. I will remove the mower deck and perform regular maintenance. Thanks to Youtube, I should have that deck off in under 60 seconds. The machine needs; Engine oil/filter change...

    Discharge deflector?

    Hi Honda: I sure like my HRR2169VYA, but sometimes I do not mulch and simply set the control to Bag and the clippings come out the back. I do not bag. My shoes end up covered with clippings, and it is messy. Please advise the part number for the discharge adapter. And does this adapter work...

    Engine RPM HRR2169VYA

    Hi All: This mower uses the GC160 engine. A question came up in a recent mower discussion about the full speed engine RPM on this mower. My guess was with the throttle fully advanced, Honda would have the engine running about 2500rpm. My friend was of the opinion of closer to 3000. Or more...

    HRR2169VYA needs a BIGGER BAG

    This machine can do a nice job of cleaning leaves off the lawn, but even with two mulching blades spinning full speed it doesn't chop up the big leaves to the degree one would expect. As the result, the bag fills quickly. I wish there was a bigger leaf collecting bag for this machine. Is there one?

    Nice New Honda, One Small Problem

    After much debate, and a trial run with a disappointing used Toro, I settled on a nice, new Honda HRR2516VYA. On the very first mow job, I noticed something odd about the cut path. Every so often one blade of grass was still left standing. In truth, the grass was quite long and I was cutting...

    The Kohler engine killing me

    This is the same Toro Recycler giving me headaches since I bought it used from a friend. It seems to be a 2011 he used a couple seasons, then simply stored in a shed with no preparation done first. It was $100 Initially it seemed to run well enough. Got it home, filled with fresh fuel, changed...

    Fallback Lawn Mower Suggestion

    Hi; If the used 21" Kohler engine Toro I bought for $100 continues to disappoint, I ask this: Any decent mower, self-propelled, 21-22", Honda engine or a US made Briggs. Mulching and side discharge. No bagging needed. Preferably new. Preferably dependable. Are they out there? thanks!

    Correct carb kit?

    I bought a used Toro 21" Recycler and I'm pretty sure the carburetor is well gummed up. The engine is Kohler and I'm also pretty sure it is an XT675. Would the correct carb kit be Kohler 14 757-03S ? thanks in advance.

    XT675-2070 engine problems

    Hi: On this Toro I just bought used, the engine ran fairly well, but would need some 3-5 pulls. Only 1-2 years old, but not well maintained. To make it start easier, today I installed the Kohler spark plug and air filter. Refilled with fresh fuel, and added some fuel injector additive I had on...

    Hi, I am new and have Toro questions

    Just yesterday I bought a used Toro 22" that I believe is a 20371 with 149cc Kohler engine from a nice friend of mine who bought it new. The mower was heavily used one season, then stored (improperly) for about 1 year. Did not want to start, so poured a little fuel in the carb. Sputtered a...
