I got a free toro recycler mower over 10 years ago and it was a very neglected mower. I did the basics and got it running and then I heard the dreaded knocking sound and I was like crap but lucky for me It was just some loose mounting bolts for the engine and it runs perfect. I changed the oil and air filter and the filter was soaked with either gas or oil or both so I changed that and the belt for the self propel and I've had for the last 10 or 12 years and I think it was a mid to late 90's or so mower and I'm still using it 10 years after I got for free. All I ever done to it is change the oil and replaced the blade and the spark plug and it starts on the first or second pull. I've also used always the 30 weight oil on any of my mowers or riding mower I had just for a few years and never had a problem and that's what briggs and stratton recommends.

Nice one, Stella! I just figured out that your name represents your Italian heritage. Playing a tarantella during the blade sharpening gave it away. 🎶 I like to get a thin, straight pic down inside the spark plug to confirm there’s no carbon chunks inside. For really bad ones I put them in the vice horizontally and get them red hot with a propane torch to burn them clean. For the rest I clean them up on the bench grinder wire wheel, finishing up with regapping as necessary. 🔧👍

Now that Honda has ceased production of lawnmowers, I would hope to see Toro license the Honda Drive system for the US market. I own a Honda and a Toro Super Recycler. The Honda Drive system is so intuitive. Release it during operation to pull back with ease. Release the Toro drive, and push forward a little to disengage the drive before pulling back. That’s crazy.

@TheLawnmowerLadyАй бұрын
You're probably OK. There is a small amount of residual oil that sits in the bottom of the oil sump. Even a small amount of old oil will discolor new oil. You have done the right thing by getting the majority of the spent oil out of the machine. Cheers!

Cheers Tom! I can't really say yay or nay since I don't own one. From a repair perspective, they have a lot of fiddly bits and bobs of plastic that wear out prematurely IMO. As for performance, I've read complaints from others the physics of the drive mechanism is awkward. Difficult to regulate your speed as any effort to push the mower forward alters your force on the drive handle. In my limited use of test drives, I'd have to agree. I appreciate you watching.

If your mower indeed has the same older Briggs & Stratton Quantum (flathead engine: no overhead valves) have a look at this video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qZeVnKxyr6nDmqM.html In that video I show in more detail exactly what I'm adjusting to alter the RPM.

No way it was close to 6,000 RPM. Perhaps 3,300. Blade did not need sharpening. Prime and paint areas where powder coating has peeled away. If you are in longer grass and not using a bag, or want to mulch, buy a diverter which holds the side discharge port open.
