I have a Toro MX5060, Kawasaki 23.5 hp. I went to check the battery after this cold spell. It wouldn't turn the motor over. I put battery charger on to charge as it read 9%. Battery is several years old. It kept clicking back to the "Check" red light. I fooled around with it awhile as the...

Mine came apart on a Toro MX5060 but the base was metal. I just got some type of sealant. I wish I could remember what brand it was to tell you. But it was , I think, something like Liquid Nails. I spread it around the edges of the steel base and the back of the seat. Then l placed a board...

I see the original comment now. I didn't realize this changed pages. You taught me something. Thanks. But to answer your question I think he (WiTimeCutter) probably wants the pedal further away. You'd have to ask him to be sure. In MY case, my legs are long and I do have a slight issue...

I"m not the one asking about making adjustments, I was just responding to a guy that said he was 370 lbs and could not press the pedal. It was him that was asking about making adjustments. In fact, I don't even see his post at the top, how'd that happen? I guess he removed it.

I'm 6'4 and I use mine. But I'm way under 370 . I would think you could get a welder to weld on an extension to that pedal to fit you, or you could make one yourself and bolt it on if you're geared to the DIY type thing.

Good idea about the tube. Thanks. Will do

packardv8 and Lawn Addict, in the past I found the left back tire with only 6 lbs air while the right back tire had 12. I checked that after I had made two 1/4 turns on the adjustment rod, which helped. I'm going to air the left back up again the next time I mow and it will probably be OK. If...

txnowman, I don't know the serial #. To be honest its too darn hot to walk out there and look it up :). It is 100 here. If it helps any, the mower is a Toro MX5060, model 74641, with a Kawasaki 23hp engine. I "think" the mower came with just the paper filter and not a foam sleeve over that...

As I stated, I am using the foam sleeve that slides over the paper filter.

Good job. Critics of me being thrifty would probably be right. I do have a foam covering over the filter. It broke; I'll get another today. Even with the foam filter (which I've not coated with anything) the paper filter gets a ton of dust in it. Maybe thats something I shouldn't worry...

I don't know why I said that, other than I'm getting old. Yes, it has a Kawasaki 23hp. I corrected it, thanks! My boat has the Yamaha. :) The mower is Model 74641

Toro MX5060 with Kawasaki 23hp, paper cartridge air filter. My yard gets very dusty in some spots when the weather gets very dry and in some parts of the yard the mower kicks up a cloud of dust. I use to take the filter off every few months. When I tapped it on the side of a tree I was...

I don't have that problem; I just step on it, mow over the area, then let it back down. However, if you want to make an attachment it shouldn't be too hard to do. Make some measurements of what you need, draw it out on paper (like a schematic) and take it to a machine shop. They could...

I use the deck lift pedal on my MX5060 every time I mow because of tree roots above the ground. I do it in the run position too.

hlw49, thanks. Yes, I've aired both rear tires to 12 lbs. I found out something as simple as that affects tracking big time. Unfortunately, there's not more than about 20 feet or so of what is 'almost level' in my yard including the driveway which is all uphill and slightly slanted to one...

Haha. I'll leave that to someone else. I once had a JD lawn tractor with one of those stamped decks. About the only good thing I could say about it was the Kohler engine. The deck was a bonafide mess.

bert, I'm beginning to come to that conclusion too, and maybe I'm being a bit too nitpicking. I live in a hilly area of rolling hills on my street. Nothing is flat. Some of it is "relatively" flat, but not all. On 1.6 acs there is a drop of (guess) 5 or 6 feet. I expect having to pull back...

hlw49, I had looked and didn't see any (based on a video I saw). However, on this model I'm almost certain they are located other than what I saw on the video. So, yes I think it has them; they're about 10" long, black, about 3/4" diameter. Thanks.

hlw49, I looked for those but I don't see any on this model (MX 5060).

Rivets, thank you for that. This manual seems to have a lot more info than the manual that came with my mower. These adjustments are not even mentioned, I guess they want the dealer to do that.

Yes, it does. That was the first thing I did. There was less than half the pressure in the left back tire as the right back had. I took care of that and it solved most of the drift. There's still a little bit.

Yes, I have that manual now. At least I've got it bookmarked, I can't yet figure out how to save it to my computer.

Well there is a slope in my yard. All yards within 2 miles are this way. But what about the part of the right control arm not returning to neutral when you release it?

2013 Toro MX5060. 270 hours. Drive belt was replaced at the shop 2 months ago. The mower drifts to the left when mowing full speed. I can mow with it easy enough. Its just that I have to pull back the right bar slightly to mow straight. Also, I notice that when sitting still if I move the...

bertsmobile1, hmmmm. I can hear the brake engaging and disengaging when you turn the ignition on or off - or, move the steering control arms in or out. So I think the brake is working like it should. When I tried to roll it I turned the ignition to the ON position and I'd hear the brake; then...

Lawn Addict, I have the same mower as Ops banker. Going forward at top speed mine was drifting to the left. Not drastic, but enough that I had to pull back a little bit on the right to make it go straight. I found out most of my problem was low tire pressure. A Toro dealer told me this was...

SamB frankly it has me baffled. The videos I posted (hope they are visible) shows what I'm going through. The machine moves whether the pin (levers) are in or out. The trans is never disengaged.

StarTech and bertsmobile1, I have uploaded two short videos of this issue to Youtube so you can see what I'm seeing. Here they are. [This is the first time I've uploaded to Youtube. I hope I got it right]

Thank you

Stan5686, I just read your post from 2019. What did you find out about your F691 engine? I have a 2013 models with 260 jrs. It's starting to smoke at start up. However, l just changed oil. Went from 10w30 to 20w50. I don't know if treats the issue or if I'm starting to have a problem like...

Bertsmobile1, the pin is connected to an arm as you say. But there is not resistance at all that I can feel. It just slides back and forth as if not connected to anything.....both sides. Another thing l didnt mention is those pins are not straight. They are both in a rather oddly bent...

bertsmobile 1 I think you have it backwards.

Thanks Star Tech. It sounds like this will likely be taking out both transaxles and looking inside them. Sounds really expensive....and thats IF I can find a shop qualified at that. Right now I'm thinking since I can use it I might wait for fall when the mowing season is over; and I don't...

I'm pushing them in, and with that small ring on the pin latched behind the frame. That small ring is not visible when I push them in. So I assume they're "latched" in. This last time (today) I laid down on the floor and pushed them in as far as they would go before I started the engine. The...

2013 Toro MX5060 (50") zero turn. It doesn't matter if the pins are pulled out or pushed in, the machine still moves. It doesn't seem to disengage the transaxle for manually pushing the mower. For mowing, the machine works fine. Today I tested to see if the machine would move with the pins...

Today I did this. Pushed in both transaxle pins to disengage the transaxle. Then got on the mower, started it and pushed the control handles to drive it. It moves -- so it doesn't make any difference if the pins are pushed in or out, the machine moves. Thats what I suspected; I suspect...

bertsmobile1, (1) I would think it would be easy to roll too. Videos I've seen shows a guy pushing it pretty easily. Although, he was on concrete and I was in grass. I got it back from the shop today. They put on the drive belt. But they said they also found 3 of 4 bolts mounting the...

Flygirl, I've done that when the drive belt came off. I pushed in both transaxle levers at the back , both handles in driving postion, and ignition turned on disengaging the electric brake. It took two of us to manually to roll it in the yard. The only way I got it up the ramp of the trailer...

I have 2013 Toro MX5060. Drive belt came off and took it into the shop. As we unloaded it off the trailer the man noticed the trans was not disengaged, even with the levers pushed in. It had always been like this....and I just thought it was heavy and hard to push. The guy said no way should it...

I have a Toro MX5060 zero turn mower. The only issue I have is the steering bars are not in alignment like they use to be. This is the case whether I'm running it or not. Pushing them forward or backward one is still not in alignment with the other. I can still mow with it but its not right...
