Genuine OEM TORO PARTS - Key-Rocking, RH 66-6040 These are only $20 for the r and L pair.Just can't figure out from the pic on amazon exactly what they are? The pic Looks a lot like the head of my golf putter. Charlie

Thanks guys!!! I guess the shop I brought it to put ZERO effort into the repair. Really pisses me off!! Makes me crazy!! I just got your info and ordered the parts on Amazon for $20 with 5 minutes of effort. Thanks again Charlie

67577 67578 I have this old Toro and when I engage the self propelled rwd I can see the mechanics of it turning but it wont mesh up with the wheels.Brought it to shop and they couldn't do anything with it.I pulled a wheel off and there is a gear sprocket and washers/shims behind the wheel .In...

Cleaned up the champ on the recycler(also ordered a new one) and found the gap to be way too small.The plug was the correct size so maybe the gap was part of the issue.Still have to ck that its getting fuel when I start it in choke.Charlie

Thats what was in it so correct plug but a little old looking.Doubt the plug is my issue but I will clean it up and see. whats the gap? 30?

Here is tag for the recycler

Thanks Toby will give it a spray to help get it started.I was thinking starter fluid spray though? I changed oil in the spring but it got dirty before the end of the season.seemed like it was running hot but im no expert.I have had the mower for a year and dont know the previous history so gotta...

I had same exact on my LT1000 tractor mower with Kohler. My small engine guy replaced the carb and problem solved. He said the carb was dripping and causing hydrolock and he was correct.Signs leading up to this were longer than usual cranking to start it AND excessive smoking for approx 45...

Will taks a look, thanks!!

Thanks Nick,I dont have a primer on either mower.I usually put it in full choke and slowly pull the cord a few times.

Will do thanks much!! Charlie

This is the recycler with what looks to be a common plug ,this mower is not easy to start, not easy to pull and Im not a skinny whip..lol

ok got some pics of both except the recycler tag.The pic came out bad and was under the control cover.These pics are the one with the long reach dual head plug

Will check there for sure.Yes on the E3 plug .Thats the brand of plug that is in there and I have seen that in another of my machines......Dont recall which machine but I have surely seen that plug before.Charlie

Thanks Rivets, I appreciate the offer to help. Unfortunately you missed one of the last lines in my post.These are old machines and the tags are long gone.They deserve another look though.I will hose them down and have a closer look.Thanks again.Charlie

I own 2 old Toro mowers.A recycler GTS2 and a GTS5 OHV ,Mowers look almost identical except that the Recycler with the GTS2 motor reads "Toro" on it. Both have same brand plug with twin electrodes, one is a 12 and the other is a 22 with significantly longer reach head on it.Totally different...

Be very careful about switching from conventional to synthetic on any "not new" engine. Synthetic oils do not have the qualities and additives that keep the gaskets plump and sealed like conventional oils do.I am living proof that trying to take better care of my engines by switching to...

Update!!!!!! Was about to tackle the valve cover seal and found motor to be locked up with fuel dripping thru carb and overflowing onto the floor. since I was due for routine service this coming spring so I had it done early and had the carb checked.My service guy changed the carb and problem...

Update!!!!!! Was about to tackle the valve cover seal and found motor to be locked up with fuel dripping onto the floor. since I was due for bi-yearly service this coming spring so I had it done early and had the carb checked.my service guy changed the carb and problem solved ......so far.I...

Thanks for the diagram.If the cover is easy to get to ,it should be an easy job.If the valve cover is not easy Thanks,I feel much better now!!

Thanks for the diagram.If the cover is easy to get to ,it should be an easy job.If the valve cover is not easy to get to I will leave the job to my yearly service guy.thanks Charlie

Thanks,is this the engine that you referred to as a dog?? Thought I had the better engine?? Charlie

I have been calling my mower a T1000 but it is an LT1000. Is valve cover gasket difficult to do?? or should I leave it to my every other season servicing? Charlie

Thats kinda what I was thinking since it does not smoke immediately upon start but shortly after .Im still working on taking a pic of the id tags .This mower is far from new .It was far from new when I bought it arrow 4 years ago.A leaking valve cover gasket wouldn't be a big surprise given its...

I will have to take a closer look for any numbers.You are referring to engine numbers and not mower correct?

Have had this for 5 years with no big issues.After spending last winter in heated garage there was smoking upon the first start which has never happened before.Smoked for maybe 30-45 seconds after starting.Assumed it was from fogging motor but it has done this upon every start since. It does...

Also is this called a "drive" cable?

Thanks,what is a good source for ordering the cable? to be sure I get the correct one

Its a super Pro recycler 2 model 20436 ser 3907024

Recent purchase of a Recycler 2 .After a few hiccups,I am very happy with this beast of a recycler.Engaging of the (old school) drive shifter was very stiff. I shifter too hard when it wouldnt disengage and the end of the cable sheared off.Access seems a little difficult as the lever is housed...

So I put old spark plug back in and supercharged the fuel with Berrymens chemtool,Seafoam and Chevron tychron ,all added to gas.Nice happy hour cocktail for the Toro .No stalling at all after using it for hours this week.All good now!! I just wish it started earlier than 3rd or 4th pull.Gonna...

So Harbor freight was out of the spark testers so it will be in next week.Started the mower today on the 3rd pull and ran it around the yard for close to half an hour without stalling.When I was done I hosed it down and started it again on 3rd pull and just let it run and it ran without...

Thanks for the perfect explanation!! I was always under the impression that there is either spark or no spark. Interesting...I once had a 68 Corvette.I was told that the coil was getting overheated as I drove and it would shut the 328 down.Bought an Accel super coil and problem solved.I think...

guess I will do that.Is there a coil on these motors?

BTW I removed the bowl several times after cutting out and there was same small amount of fuel in bowl each time.

Thanks,is the spark tester a Harbor freight item?

.Mod 20436 ser 3907024. B&S motor.5.5 Thanks for the previous help on my "Which spark plug " post.This new to me Toro seems to only want to run for 5-10 mins and cuts off.I replaced the air filter,spark plug,changed oil and dropped the carb bowl and cleaned the lateral jet hole. carb bowl...

Thanks again,it didnt look like it was ever sharpened so you make perfect sense.I read that it is meant to keep the clippings from dropping onto the lawn after being cut.It is supposed to make sure the clippings get mulched more than once so the clippings are super tiny when done. I wonder if it...

here are the blades

Thanks guys!! I think I bought a great mower.As far as the mulching blades....I sharpened the main blade .The much smaller "lifting" blade that is under it does not look like it was ever sharpened or maybe it does not get sharpened??? Not sure.Charlie

Ok ,I found the model and serial # under the handle cover as Rivets suggested.Mod 20436 ser 3907024.Still cant find what engine is on it though .Its a 5hp something..?? Charlie

Thanks guys!! Turns out that I have an Autolite plug that I bought for my Snowblower tecumsa engine that is interchangeable . I will use that one since I wont be using the blower any time soon.Any clue how to post a pic?? I downloaded the mower pic and tried to attach the file but it stated...

So the mower is a Super Pro Recycler II ,the plug currently is Champ 861ECO that I am looking to replace.Wow,pricey plug!! Guess I will look at a cross reference.The blades are a pretty cool looking design,gonna sharpen them. Couldnt find any model or serial # tags.I will attach a few pics of...

So you find the tilt method to be more effective?? Wow glad I brought that up.I assumed drain plain was easiest and most effective. I have a hangup with making sure every drop of dirty oil is out of my engines.I usually pour a quart of clean oil through my engines after all oil is drained...

Yep,thanks.I ask about the plug because I have purchased items over the years which have had the incorrect plug installed, fortunately as I originally stated ,there is a pipe thread for oil drain on the bottom of the motor between the deck and the blade

Will do!!

I dont know.I assumed the plug placement might be a clue to one of the Toro pros. I will check it out tomorrow.Thanks!! Charlie

Will get a pic and try to get a model # .I just bought an older rwd mower .Cast aluminum deck.Older style handle with 2 levers.Left is old style choke lever and right side lever looks like 3 speed drive lever and a pull crossbar between the levers.Rear bagger with a difficult looking bag setup...

Dude,what the heck are you talking about??? No sense made at all.??? Charlie

Yep,saw that one and I think I replied.Lotsa lube seems to have fixed it....and a good cleaning.Charlie
