What have I done! , Toro Part 1

Today we start wrenching on a Toro Lawn Tractor that is in need of some TLC. The starter will not turn. Lets see if we can fix it.

One of the first things I did after buying my LX420 was to order a brand new seat. It’s been about 10 years and the seat finally split at the top, and it’s been stored in shed the whole time. And a couple years ago, the horizontal bracket that forms the “ bottom” of the exhaust chute had become very rusty. I just wiggled it off. The deck can perform just fine without it. Just love the crimper!

Thanks for the tip on the seat David, great idea! Good news about the exhaust shoot.

Straighten two paper clips, bend each like a horseshoe. Slide them behind your brushes while holding them fully into the holder. Assemble then remove the clips.

Well got the carb fixed up. starter was sticking . Took off starter .cleaned and put back together . Now i have no power to starter . Took it apart again to make sure brushes we're right. Still nothing. i tryed going to starter directly from battery with jumper cables. Can't get it to do anything... I'm a failure lol.

Paid $25.00 for mine at a consignment auction . Fresh gas , oil , battery charge and it fired right up and mows nice .

[@5beesgarage]

one of the worst engines out there. the bucket engine lol. plastic camshaft gears, bolts come loose under flywheel and crack the block. I have a pile of some good looking cub cadets, troybilt and toros out back with blown up kohler courage engines
