It's finally time to get my $100 Toro Timecutter Z4200 fixed up and ready to sell! This was my personal mower last year, but now I'm ready to get it sold. I'll show you how I change lawn mower tires, and get a mower generally cleaned up and looking pristine when I want to get top dollar for it! This Toro Timecutter Z4200 has been one of my favorite mowers, and I'm sure the next owner will get a lot of good use out of it!
Check out the full series on this mower: • $100 Toro Timecutter Flip
Welcome to Garage Story!
I'm in the business of hunting up old lawn mowers and other small machines, and either parting them out, or fixing them up and selling them for profit. Come along for the ride with my weekly vlogs, and how-to videos.

I have a similar ss4235 Toro Timecutter with a 21hp Kawasaki engine. A bit newer than yours. About 2014. Paid $1400 for it from the son of a man who sells and maintains Toros. Great for mulching leaves! Crap on hills. I hate the front tire valve stems...hard to fill. Grease zerk hard to reach, too, unless I take off the wheels. All in all, it's saved me twice what it cost me to hire someone to do fall cleanup and mow the weeds. $1500 profit for parts and a day's work is not bad.

Keep making videos. You do a nice job making them !! I paid $1700 for mine back in 2009 with 2 year zero financing. Hard to believe it still worth what I paid for it !! Came across your video trying to figure out why mine won't move after running over some sticks. Re-engaged the drive pins. But still won't move. Hope to figure it out today.

Ratchet strap around the tire will help set the bead then air up with air compressor.

Yep! I’ve used a ratchet strap several times. On really small tires it doesn’t always work as well.

Amazing what a little tlc can do to save another mower from the scrap pile. A little car wax on the metal and she will be a great mower for someone

You can wrap a ratchet strap around the tire in the center and tighten. It will help squeeze the tire and get a seal to air up and seat the bead. Great videos!

I have this same mower. Did you ever change oils in the hydraulic pumps on each side? I’m wanting to tackle that but not sure if it’s a nightmare or not. Cheers from Canada! 👍

@garagestory Жыл бұрын

No, I did not change the hydro oil on either of the Toro zero turns I had, so I can’t say how hard it is. Thanks for watching!

That would be a steal to get new for $2300! Around here a low end tractor style is around $2K. A mower like this is well over $3K, probably around $3.5K.

Why are you selling this timecutter 42" 19hp kolar engine zero turn which is a 2009 model for $2200!!!??? Mine cost that much in 2009!. If your going to sell it,sell it for $1200. The front tires are also nobbys.

@garagestory 2 жыл бұрын

The price of mowers has gone up, a new Toro similar to this would run you $3,200-$3,600 it looks like. And mowers have value based more on condition than age.
