I take mine to either AutoZone or Jiffy Lube. I believe they are required to take it.

Rivets, not to hijack this discussion but wanted to comment on your IRS problem. Mine was much smaller. I retired and dropped from a nice 6 figure taxable income in 2021 to income below the minimum taxable threshold in 2022. Six months after the IRS acknowledged in writing receiving my return...

I have the same mower. Since it did not come with a fuel filter I added an in-line filter.

When I bought a homeowner-size Toro in 2010 I casually mentioned it to the CEO of MTD when he was in my office, thinking I was telling him that I bought one of their products. He told me that MTD does not make Toro. I have had MTD employees tell me that they make junk.

Great description and details of your thorough troubleshooting process. Thanks!

I agree with Rivets. My Timecutter is 12 years old, twin Kawasaki, no problems though I do store it inside my garage. I had an MTD employee tell me that their products are cheaply made and don’t hold up (made locally). They make a lot of well-known brands as Rivets said. Stanley B&D recently...

Can you attach a HF tow hook like this to your mower?

I pull my Swisher 44” Finish Cut mower model FCE11544BS behind an ATV about 6-8 times a year to mow my one-acre lake lot (it’s a 2 hr drive each way). The weeds are sometimes about a foot to knee high tall when I mow. Despite weather stripping under the access panels and sealing all holes and...

Thanks for all the helpful responses everyone! I ordered another new carb which my son replaced (since he had the tiller at his home in another town). When he described what was happening when he pressed the primer bulb and how quickly the engine would die, I said it sounded like the fuel...

I recently had eye surgery and could not mow my lawn. We were about to call a lawn care company when to our surprise we looked out and our neighbor across the street and his 2 teenage sons were just finishing mowing and raking our yard. We rewarded them later though they did not want anything...

Son borrowed my Mantis tiller and complained that it will only run less than a minute then die. It has been completely rebuilt with new carb, fuel lines and filter, fuel bulb and spark plug. He said it appears to die once the gas in the bulb has been used up. He checked the kill switch and...

Thanks for the great detailed troubleshooting guide! He had some loose connections which I cleaned, sanded and tightened. Multimeter showed intermittent voltage from starter side terminal of solenoid. Replaced the solenoid and it cranked right up. Oddly, the seat cut-off switch started working...

A friend’s Kubota zero turn (sorry, don’t yet know the model# or age but believe it’s likely at least a 60”) has intermittent starting issues. He asked me to look at it (I’m not a mechanic). He said he has to turn the switch to start a number of times before it will finally click and start...

Oh, and I made the mistake of letting him borrow my chainsaw. He didn’t return it for a while so I went to his home and retrieved it from his wife. It was taken apart and some parts were missing. I have no idea how or why he tore it up. I didn’t say anything to him about it and he never...

I remember when my neighbor’s wife was going to be helpful and use his new Stihl back-pack blower. She filled it with straight gasoline without any oil. It didn’t run long before it died. Needless to say, he was not a happy camper.

Good decision with the Toro. My Timecutter is over 11 years old and works great. I have had bad experiences with everything I bought that was made by MTD. They have a plant nearby. Their employees have told me that their products are cheap made junk. I avoid MTD products like Troy-Bilt, Cub...

Everything I order that goes thru or gets handed off to the Memphis USPS sits in Memphis USPS for at least a week. I’ve tracked some that sit in Memphis for a week, then travel to Jackson, MS, then return to Memphis before heading to me only 90 miles away. I fully understand why most vendors...
