There is no easy way to check transaxle fluid level for this model. See service manual below.

First check both bypass levers are in proper position. See page 17 of operators guide.
https://www.toro.com/getpub/28630

If bypass levers are correct, then see purge procedure page 4-8 in the service manual.

Note; left turn failure during forward travel is a power issue with the right transaxle.

If there is marked fluid leaking from suspected transaxle, it will need addressed (removed, repaired, reinstalled).

SOURCE: toro mower dies when i try to pull out

Disassemble carburetor and spray with carb. cleaner. Use a Den Tek Brush,
(http://www.drugstore.com/products/prod.asp?pid=165357&catid=1152), to clean the small portals in carb. Make sure that the small screen is free of debris. Reassemble and start.
If this doesn't work, then you will need to buy a carb. kit and replace all the appropriate parts.

SOURCE: TORO Z5000 zero turn mower. right side

it should hold hydralic fluid there should be a resirvour somewhere on the back along with the pump you should be able to check the level there and if you don't get the leak stopped it will lock up the whole drive system.

SOURCE: i have a 19 hp kohler courage on my toro zero turn

This sounds like the carb is plugged. Sometimes fuel thickens and makes globs...

If you verified the fuel flow to the inlet of the carb, then you need to take the carb off and open it up....
So, what needs to happen is you blow out all of the passageways with carb cleaner.

Any adjustable jets: make note of the position it is in, and FINGER TIGHT turn it clockwise until it closes (typically 1 to 1 1/2 turns) SOOOOO, you can set this jet back to the same positon....when finished blowing everything out, bottom the jet and back out the number of turns out, noted for that jet.

Open the float chamber, and clean as necessary, Inspect the float adjustment: invert the carb, and observe the angle of the float, relative to the carb body.... Usually almost parallel, but not necessarily.
Inspect the inlet valve, and clean those areas...

I usually use all new gaskets and valves, but if you are not a carb person, cleaning is effective and I think old gaskets may be okay, if not torn or damaged.

My toro z480 zero turn wont move on the right side when I move the control lever??

Does it hum or make a binding noise when you push the lever? There are by-pass valves on the pump. If there is no noise then that's more than likely your problem. If you hear a soft grinding like sound at the wheel motor then it sounds like the motor is by-passing oil.

I have a Toro Time Cutter Z480 and it starts up but as soon as you move forward it stalls and there is a lot of thick smoke.

What you have is an engine that has a carburetor problem that has probably diluted the oil to the point that the crankcase is over-filled. Drain the oil and filter, then replace oil. Sometime the carburetors on these unit will become porous or cracked inside and will allow gas to enter the fuel bowl while the engine is not running. Some signs of this is that the engine will drag or static lock when you try to crank it over.

I've gone to the point to even put an inline fuel shut-off valve in the fuel line so that the fuel can be shut off when the engine is not running to temporarily deal with this problem until a new carburetor can be located and installed.

Was mowing and the mower wouldn't let me move forward backward left or right. I walked behind the mower and found a coil with a hook piece underneth. Bought a new coil but don't know where it goes....

sounds like the hydro release rod, at back bott of mower, what this does is releases the hydro so you can push the mower around, then you have to release this and then your hydro works
