Rivets...components on my mower look like those shown in figure 048 on page 4-10 except there's no snap ring to hold adjusting lever and pivot arm in place on HOC retainer that fits thru hole in HOC side plate. I'll get you pick of my setup in the morning. Thx, Bill

My mower was built in 2016...looks like they eliminated snap ring that's show in manual printed in 2013.

Rivets...there is no snap ring. Model 20334, s/n 316000001

Hey Rivets...any ideas on this ?

Any idea how much force is required to untreated HOC bearing retainer from pivot arm ? I put a 1-1/2" socket & breaker bar over wrench flats on retainer and can't get it to budge. Wrench flats are so thin on retainer I guessing corners will round off even though I using 6 point socket.

Only manual that's listed is Owner's Manual...it came with my mower when it was new. Not any help for my problem.

Personal Pace model #20334, s/n 316000000. By end of last season it felt like I was pulling a ton of bricks and grinding rocks when pulling my rear wheel drive Toro backwards. No amount of traction cable adjustment helped. Finally found time to take drive completely apart ...everything looks...

Rivets...when I had retaining ring off to replace drive pinion I gave Pivot Arm a pretty good tug...it didn't move...any thoughts ?

"Pivot Arm" is flagged as Ref. # 8 on pages 12 and 13 of attached Toro Parts Manual for my specific Model and Serial No.

Rivets... Finally got around to replacing Drive Pinions on both sides of mower. Noise is greatly reduced especially these are straight cut gears running unlubed. Still more noise than I'd like on LH side of drive. Even though bearing, sleeve bushing look tight I'm going to replace. Can you...

Rivets...I took a real hard look at LH side of mower. It does appear wheel axle bracket is slightly "toed - in". If I force wheel straight grinding noise is greatly reduced. Have you had any luck in hard swimming bracket to correct toe-in ? Would you consider use of steel washer shim...

Hey Rivets... Any idea what year Toro stopped using some form of spring loaded key clutch mechanism on their rear wheel Personal Pace lawnmowers ? My Model 20334 (2016 vintage) has no such key. Drive pinions have squared off bores that lok it to transmission shaft having milled flats on each...
