    NASTY surprise from Toro on filler plug

    If you say so. It's on the top in this particular case. Literally, looks like some sort of prototype, as not much matches Toro manual for the model and year.

    NASTY surprise from Toro on filler plug

    I got it. Well, I just opened one side, the opposite side should not be a problem, it has better access. Wasn't even that hard with the right tool.

    NASTY surprise from Toro on filler plug

    No, simply sloppy Qc at the factory and don't care those who put it together. It's good mower. Stuff happens.

    NASTY surprise from Toro on filler plug

    That's breather tube, not fill plug. Has spring loaded valve inside. Hole for it will NOT allow oil IN, I tried. Fill plug, as usual, is a large hex head plug hidden by the frame flare. Folks, service hole for that plug is in the wrong place. It is ALMOST where it should be, clearly, except that...

    NASTY surprise from Toro on filler plug

    I have manual. It simply says remove plg, remove breather plug, refill to drip. Do air bleeding procedure. I'm pretty sure and it's quite obvious, that service window in the frame is simply off vs plug location. Basically, frame is for a different transmission or transmission is for a different...

    NASTY surprise from Toro on filler plug

    Well, bad news is, it does have 2 spin on filters and is supposed to be serviced at 50 hrs, per manual. I'm already at 72. First oil change. Thereafter, it's 300 hrs.

    NASTY surprise from Toro on filler plug

    I was going to do hydro oil change on my Toro Timecutter Myride 60 inch mower to find a nasty surprise. There is filler plug on top of transmission, one per each side. I am blessed, I knew well enough to ALWAYS open filler plug before draining any oil. I found that filler plug is covered by...

    Toro Titan MyRide 60 inch no start

    What the heck... So I went back to the mower.. Started with removing post fuel filter hose - no gas. Removed pre filter hose - no gas. Well, maybe it needs pump to engage, OK.. Removed charger clamps off the battery terminals Turned key into #2 position, whatever that is. Some faint noise came...

    Toro Titan MyRide 60 inch no start

    Scratching my head here. Worked fine last time used. Set in garage through winter time. We had some cold weather, maybe down to 17F for a night or 2, but that is gone. I tried to start the engine today - no go. 1. starter spins fine 2. tank half full 3. Choke up, as it should 4. PTO down, as it...

    Best for hills?

    I have very steep slopes in my property, some are like 30-40 degrees. I have no issues with ZTR on them. Unless grass is wet and it wants to slide on it. But, stability wise, superb. Of course, I have wide ass 60 inch mower with factory wide rear tires.... it's like a turtle... Ad hoc, someone...

    Grass isn't cut between the blades.

    Take blades off and look at them. Is cutting leading edge rounded towards the blade ends? That's how it usually goes. Then, it will cut less in that area. Are blades perfectly straight or bent? If you have bent edge, it will cut differently. Last week I pulled my Toro blades off to sharpen and...

    EZ Vac bagger

    Ok, so here's the review 1. Very expensive. 1350 after tax 2. Took about an hour plus to set up. Some drilling involved as the vertical bag holder frame bolt holes didn't quite lineup as they shoul. 3. No, it's not permanent install. Can be removed by removing drive belt from the pulley...
