I have the same motor on my Toro SS5000, and it recently started surging while idling. Also, on occasion, it will blow a puff of oil smoke when I start it after it's been sitting for a while. Other than that, the motor runs fine. I know zero about welch plugs, what/where are they and how do I...

Check the spindle to the blade that's not cutting correctly. Over the years, I've had several that wouldn't spin full speed just before going bad and not turning the blade at all. When that would happen, it would leave a partially cut strip of grass.

Good point, I will check that when I get home from work. Thanks!

Good morning, all.... I have an older model Encore Pro-Series 32" walk-behind, model #32B100, serial #30682. A guy down the street has fallen on hard times and is cutting yards to make $$$ while he waits to hear from a prospective employer, but he only has a 22" push mower so I'm going to give...

Good morning, I'm still in need of the part # for the small belt that goes around the pulley underneath the engine of my SS5000 zero-turn, model #74631. Thanks!

Good information, thank you!

I never said I don't strap the mower down, just what happens if I don't, and then move the trailer. While the comments on that topic are insightful, that's not what I asked about. If you...

Okay, I will look into replacing those. Thank you!

I have a 2015 SS5000, model #74631. My issue is that the for the past 2 years the brakes are not holding the mower still while it's on my trailer. When I push the handlebars out and turn the mower off, I hear them engage and I can't move the mower by hand (unless I manually disengage the brakes...

I'm looking for a SS5000 deck, model #74631. Anyone have one or can point me in the right direction? TIA!
