Excellent tutorial video JB. Maybe the Toro company should hire you to do more 'how to repairs' . Good one Bro!

[@GarageGear]

@@danlboom2092 thanks Dan! I don’t think toro wants to work with me though! I pick on them way too much lol

[@mvg2x34]

How about some expanded content on riding mowers and their options? I think the YT platform could use it and your thoroughness, formatting,and presentation would get a lot of views.

[@GarageGear]

I appreciate you Mvg! Problem is I have zero room for even one rider in my garage. If I had more room I would consider it!

I never have replaced a drive belt on any of my mowers or had one slip or break. Then again I’ve only owned 2. I’ve noticed a lot of grass build up under that belt cover and around there on my recycler and if I recall correctly I don’t have a belt guide on mine but never had it fall off. Great video!

[@GarageGear]

Thanks for sharing and watching Matthew!

Great informative video JB! Spot on with the editing too. Hope you’re realizing around the pool this weekend. Enjoy my friend! Cheers!

[@GarageGear]

@@jaybooth4815 thanks Jay! Was in the pool three times yesterday. More today! What’s up on your end?

[@angelicaconiguliaro3179]

Hello, JB. Don't forget if they just installed a new belt and wheels are spinning when you start the mower the cable needs to be adjusted.

[@GarageGear]

@@angelicaconiguliaro3179 good tip Angelica! 👍

[@ChuckP25.]

Thanks JB. Thumbs up from Iowa. I always like it when my belt has stiffness!

[@iowafox2206]

Great video! The toro I picked up just like this one free on the side of the road just needed gas. I plan to do the belt soon! Then sell it or just use it for as long as the kohler engine will last.

[@GarageGear]

@@iowafox2206 these can be decent back up mowers! 👍 love finding these on the side of the road!

[@iowafox2206]

@@GarageGear I agree my main mower is a 1978 john deere 316k rider. My main push mower is a John Deere 14se and love that thing. The toro is my back up if I decide to keep it. Its nice but I don't love it.

[@GarageGear]

@@iowafox2206 does the electric start still work on your 14SE?

[@iowafox2206]

@@GarageGear surprisingly it did when I got it 2 years ago but I don't ever use it. I'd sell the stuff for it or trade for the battery cover thing if you have a spare. I had to rig a different battery in the original was still in it when I bought it. I do believe I've got the original key as well but I'd have to look.

[@GarageGear]

@@iowafox2206 I guess if you can find a battery for it they should work . I’ve seen spare keys on ebay recently.

[@williamc2930]

The Toro appears a lot faster and easier to change a belt than a Honda, in my opinion.

[@GarageGear]

@@williamc2930 i agree!

[@JazzaJames]

Can you do an overgrown lawn

[@GarageGear]

@@JazzaJames not a bad video idea!

[@RyanRoux]

Awesome. Can you also do a video on replacing the two belts on the HRX series?

[@GarageGear]

@@RyanRoux perhaps down the road ! I’d have to steal my neighbors mower for that

[@scooby196I]

how often would you replace a belt on average?

[@GarageGear]

@@scooby196I hey scooby! Depends on use. For the basic homeowner probably after 5-10 years of use or if you start losing grip. Thanks for watching
