I have this old Toro and when I engage the self propelled rwd I can see the mechanics of it turning but it wont
mesh up with the wheels.Brought it to shop and they couldn't do anything with it.I pulled a wheel off and there is a gear sprocket
and washers/shims behind the wheel .In my opinion there seems to be something missing or possibly a key missing as there is a
slot in the axle.Im not familiar with the mechanics of this so hard to describe properly.Any ideas?? Thanks Charlie

Get a new shop, these drives are not that hard to troubleshoot. With this manual you should be able to troubleshoot it yourself. https://www.toro.com/getpub/22446

Boy this one of the first ones of this model.

Toro 66-6040 RH and Toro 66-6050 LH are the part numbers for the rocking keys

Yes, plus one of the most solid built Toro made. Well worth repairing. Manual does a great job of showing drive assembly.

What do you expect out of this younger generation? They are couch potatoes with a smart phone showing them how to do everything.

I pulled out a road map the other day to look for a street. The customer asked what it was as they never seen one.

But how do they get the other humping couch when they only managed to get to my driveway when they are 15 miles from the other couch and 5 miles from their own couch?
