Toro 22" Recycler 20018 S/N 220346266 20 years old first service. Neighbor was thinking of EV and decided to have his Toro serviced. I told him I would be happy to do it for him, we've been neighbors for over 30 years. Same age, same backgrounds, he is as much a buddy as a neighbor. I have a...

Anytime you toss loose earth with air pockets into a hole, it will sink as it compacts, unless you compact it first. Just keep adding a little dirt to it as it sinks.

most of those two cycle carbs have a life span of just a couple years. Learn how to rebuild it or replace it. The diaphragms in it that control fuel delivery stretch and go bad. I have found that draining the tank and running the device dry after each use doubles the life but even so the carbs...

For years I lived near the beach and bicycled a lot. There is only one way to avoid sand from damaging bearings and things. That is to clean them on a regular basis. Some people put neoprene o-rings next to bearing seals to slow the entry of sand, but even with that it finds its way in. That is...

Google.com then Honda Mower Parts

if you know what the ID of the rod big end should be, you can ask an automotive machine shop to hone it to the proper clearance. Don't guess.

Gensys said they don't have any of those items and can't get them.

get a schematic for your mower then follow the circuit to see where the circuit is failing. That is what anyone would have to do.

Had some rust and manganese sulfate stains on concrete and stucco I needed to get rid of. Hydrogen Peroxide worked on some of them including clothes washed with the teeshirt I was wearing. However by combining 5% vinegar and 3% Hydrogen peroxide in a sprayer 1-1 makes an acid you don't want on...

I come from an IT background and many years of business including marketing. The first thing you do is copyright your name in the state of NY and trademark it nationally. Most likely it will be hard because it is common but insist you are only trademarking the phrase. You can then pay Google to...

really strange - the page I got last time did not have those items at the bottom. It had other ones that were completely different. Totally different prices too. I will write them again and not close the page until I do. Thank you for your perseverance.

that one came back as an L shaped blade brake. The other quill listed at $67 could also be called a PTO clutch assembly. The quill on the edger is this part #321

Thank you. I've sent them an e-mail to confirm it is available. Everywhere else it has been NLA the last 10 years, including the superseded part number. That said, $145 plus shipping, and then paying a welder to improve on the factory welds makes for an expensive part. I am hoping to find a...

if you retire it for lack of the part, I am interested in the quill assembly and blade shaft etc. No idea where in the USA you are but there is a fellow near me here in NorCal with almost the same edger for a very reasonable price. I thought of buying it just for the quill but the motor is good...

depends on how long it runs good then bad. When adjusting the screws, they have a considerable lag because it takes time for the fuel mixture in the crankcase to clear out to the new mixture. Also look in the tank to be sure the filter hasn't fallen off. I had a hedger doing that and it was...

Guinness's extra stout

I looked at the pictorial. See only two parts the deck itself and this cover that is part of that assembly. #8 - 76140-VR8-N01ZA

A year later and still looking. Found a fellow with a running edger last night that has that part for $70 if he still has it today but I'd feel guilty stripping down a good running edger for just that part. I have no space to store the whole edger until I need it.

just looking at Consumer Reports ratings, and availability in local big box stores here in CA. Maybe the HRN216VKA might be worth looking at. I personally have a 18 year old Toro personal pace with Briggs engine I just went thru and still love it, but the Toro mowers did not rate quite as high...

I don't know but looks pretty nasty. My take is clean it up to get rid of contaminants, and slowly add material thru tig, giving it a chance to cool between layers.

run it without the belts and see if the vibration goes away. Then add one belt at a time after inspecting it. Put the blades on your balance machine too, to see if they are in balance.

did you pull the top bearing off? Is the second bearing above or below the pop rivets?

is this the bearing you are trying to remove?

see if you have a 13/16 that will fit. Years ago there were some smaller plugs too.

is the head worth milling cost wise? I use a machinists straight edge and check it I I I then three spots 90 degrees from that then an X. If it is good then milling it will only raise compression and make any overheating and compression worse. Compare the cost vs new. Best guess is that a...

The carb and fuel pump system probably need to be cleaned and rebuilt. Make sure that if there is a fuel shut off valve on the mower, that it is in the on position. If you aren't comfortable rebuilding a carb, take it to your local mower shop. Fuel can leave a nasty mess when it sits for a long...

mine sounds the same and it starts. Usually if I do an annual thorough cleaning and the bottom gets wet it will squeak like that. A little WD40 or silicone spray gets rid of it. Check for spark. Put a teaspoon of gas in the carb and see it if starts.

awesome

whatever you do, the guide puller needs to have a square shoulder, no rounding in it because if it swells the guide it will be near to impossible to get out, and it may even damage the block. The question is what will you gain. I have a couple 25 year old engines on various things that the...

I would think a lot depends on the condition of the machine and where you are. It is like a boat that is older than a year or two. One suggestion is look on FB, CL, go by some auctions and see what similar ones sold for locally. You might also pay a dealer to appraise it. Remember that to a...

make sure the wheel itself spins freely too if it has a stepped bolt that holds it on.

we aren't using ether to start it are we?

I'll take $850 on "what are the symptoms of installing a cheap carb" please.

checking the head and block for straightness with a machinists straight edge should be done anytime there is a blown head gasket. If the old one was solid and the head and piston were just decarbonized, then there would not be a need for it, but with a blown head gasket there is often something...

could be the mixture is off or there is a little vacuum leak, or a valve is not sealing properly. No one can crystal ball something like that over the Internet. You will have to do some troubleshooting and tuning to see if you can figure it out.

what startech posted above, is the most likely answer. If you look at the sticker on your link and my link, they show the same MTD number.

maybe my Google is different. There is also a bowtie mount which is similar but different. How about a photo of the actual blade center. https://www.amazon.com/Rotary-Lawnmower-742-04308-742-0616-942-04312/dp/B06XXNVJBW

I googled H pattern 21" blade and many came up.

trying without the air filter only risks damage to the engine. The problem is too much fuel. That is either a dirty air filter, or too much fuel for the load and RPM. If the air filter is clean then it is too much fuel - a high speed adjustment. That said, if it is unadjustable then it may be a...

I don't know. I had one that did not run well when I bought it, replaced the carb with a genuine replacement and not a clone, it ran fine after that. I also have a hedge trimmer that was acting goofy. Replaced the carb with a genuine one it ran well then would die about 1/2 tank. While replacing...

Is it only on this site, or are you getting it on other websites too?

had pictures all I have now is ads. Tired of this crap. That said, I had to disassemble a breather and put it back together piece by piece to make it work. Simply the way it is constructed. Yours looks similar.

the only time fuel ends up in any crankcase due to the fuel pump is a perforated diaphragm. Usually it is a problem in the carb when gas is in the oil.

check the oil to see if gasoline has been leaking into it.

I borrowed a friend's like that about 35 years ago. Having a corded hedge trimmer, or weed wacker was a pain enough, but avoiding the cord constantly with his mower made me swear I would never own one. Lots of options out there these days.

I think they use 50:1. Mine did. How old is the fuel?
