Toro recycler self propelled 6.5hp, 22" (gts)

Bring back

Sounds like they need cleaning & oiling. Check that nothing is keeping it from moving. I have ran over string or cord before & got caught and wrapped around wheel.

you will probably need to replace the tabs that pop and grab the fywheel, the springs should be replaced as well.

Hi Wahid
You probably sheard the flywheel key...
You will need to pull the flywheel off and replace the sheard key to be able to start the motor again.

did u turn it on its side? change the air filter. change the plug. turning it on its side could cause a fouling in the plug or air filter to fill up with oil and shoot out on the deck. Use Stabil in the gas in the off season.

how do you change the self propelled cable on Toro Model 20005 22 " recycler. Can't figure out how to remove the plastic black cover the cable goes under

turn it over and check the drive belt. it's probably too loose or broken. don't ask me how to fix it, i'm here trying to find out why mine keeps dying.

The self propel part does not work on my Toro 6.5 GTS. How to fix?

Casey,

My son just bought a new Toro self propelled 22" recycler and has had problems on two different occasions. The mower just bogs down to a stop and when he tried to pull the starter cord, it was very VERY difficult to pull. At first I thought the engine had seized up for some reason (no oil?), but we found the problem.

First, disconnect the spark plug wire from the spark plug (to avoid the engine starting); tip the mower on its side and check very carefully the pulley and transmission belt. In his case, a piece of wood had gotten stuck between the belt and the pulley. Removing it fixed the problem (now he mows a little higher so as not to get so close to any debris). (We did have one further problem after that - the engine would not start - not even fire. After pulling and pulling, checking for gas, and checking that the air filter was cleean, we decided to check if the cylinder was flooded - we removed the spark plug, wiped and dried if off, and replaced it. It started right away.)

This belt 'n pulley arrangement isn't the best idea, if you ask me.

Good luck.

Self propell toro mower will not "self propell", nor can i pull it backwards
