I have a Toro Self-propelled mower with the 3 speed Lever at top. Can the speed be adjusted. Even in the third position it is too slow for me.

According to Google it is not.

I have a LTX1000 that doesn't go in gear. I checked the belt and pulley and everything seems fine. What should I look for next?

I have a LTX1000 Craftsman mower. The right rear wheel fell off. When I reinstalled the mower no longer engages. I understand there is a square key that probably fell out. If that's the problem is the mower only driven by the right rear wheel?

I have a Toro Bronco Tiller with a 126312/0023 E1 Briggs engine. It smokes really bad but I may have put in too much oil. It has 3 oil fill caps. I filled the top one until I could see oil. I have oil coming out of my air filter. Sometimes after running a while it will clear up. The motor has...

How much oil does the engine hold? Owners manual says 2-1/4pt. Is this 1 quart and 1/4pint?

The range between idle and high RPM's is like less then an inch. I can adjust a moderate rpm with some effort but it would seem to me based on the large area shown by the markings on the mower that this should be a very gradual process. It is difficult to find a nice running speed. The mower...

My mower revs up and down even at full idle. The plug also has a lot of carbon build up. When cleaned it comes back quick. There is some smoke coming out around where the muffler is mounted sometime. The oil is full. Mower doesn't appear to use any oil. Does anyone have any suggestions...

After replacing my needle valve(grafite tip) the motor wants to rev up and down. Before replacement the motor would only throttle about 30%. I am probably getting full throttle now except for the reving. Any suggestions?

I am getting up in years and push mowing my yard is starting to be too much. I always heard how great John Deere Mowers were. I can't afford anything new. What would you recommend that I could buy for around $500. I probably only need about a 38" cut. Don't want anything that requires a lot of...

My rope broke today and I took cover off to replace rope. That was easy enough but I don't understand how to reset the coil. Any help would be appreciated. Couldn't find one like this on YouTube.

I have a 250816BE with a wiring issue with the three wires near the starter. The two wires coming out near the top of the starter are red and black. I have a single white wire that connected to these wires(one or both). The plug was damaged when I bought the mower. Some one sent me a wiring...

I can't get my mower to start. I get a click under my seat when I turn the ignition. Is there anything I should check before actually replacing the solenoid? Is this a generic part I can get anywhere?

Started last fall. Replaced axle boots recently. Get clicking noise under the seat when trying to start with battery. Also have pull start but no luck there either. I have charged battery.
