That is a Briggs & Stratton. More than likely from what I am reading you do have a problem with the push rod having bent / falling out of place. This is a fairly well documented issue, usually the reason is overheated engine. The cheap repair is to buy all new pushrods and not sure if this...

Ensure both spark plugs are firing: With the engine off disconnect one spark plug then start it up... If it runs same as before stop it, reconnect that spark plug and disconnect the other, then start it up. If it runs same as before then this isn't the problem. If in either case it won't run...

All mowers develop problems, especially after the first thousand hours but even before that... All brands have strengths and weaknesses, haven't seen a mower that lasts forever and never has problems... Every mower has its achilles heel, sometimes a few, these are brand specific but all brands...

Maybe... All I can tell you is about an hour of careful grinding with a dremel and more than a few polishing bits got it pretty smooth, but not factory smooth... And it leaks. I've ordered a speedi-sleeve along with a new seal, also I'm about to find out I suppose, if that bit about the seal...

I would NOT use screws to pull out the old seal, I have done so in the past and ended up marking the crankshaft with the threads of the screws and left deep marks in the steel thus the new seal ended up leaking in some sort of order. And some might think the crankshaft won't mark so easily but...

First off all the engine is most likely the 126T02-3206-B1, which is the number we need if we're working on the engine. The model number of the mower is good to have, but it's the engine we're working on and Toro doesn't make the engine, Briggs does. You only stated the engine had a "rod knock"...

So what should I do, and if everyone insists on getting pure gasoline then what happens? Exactly.

And this should have been mentioned, always tip the machine carburetor side UP. The extractor however is most likely the best method.

I am curious, this SAE 30 oil... Is it a detergent oil? Because it's easy to purchase NON-detergent SAE 30 without realizing it, and for gasoline engines it is essential to use a detergent oil. Also SAE 30 is really thick... Especially conventional oil, even if that's what the manual says. I...

Hard to tell you what your mower will pull, when it comes to towing I know only two things: 1. Any towing voids the warranty and you're on your own in terms of what goes wrong. 2. I found out what mine can do (the trailer is a 6x12, I only took it from there to the street where the truck was...

A common issue on these mowers is when standing behind it, the left rear wheel bolt (looks like a nut in the center of the wheel) likes to work itself loose. When that happens the gears from the transmission can no longer fully engage the wheel, causing slippage. I believe it's either 12 or 13...
