I totally agree. These older mowers are way better.

9 years out of print makes it a classic.

IMO…One of the best Briggs engines ever.

This is my mower! So glad I found your channel! Thank you!

Stella, you are Juan in a million. 😊

you remind me of my mom so much i love your stuff so much

Very Smart video! Especially lubing the cables.

Nice work Miss Steller.

I still use my 79' 18" Toro aluminum deck Techumseh motor to cut my grass great video Stella loved the music

Quantum 😊 one of my favorites great show 🙌

Nice one Stella - as always good speed, instructive and good angles and zoom - nice! Cheers! 👍

Always nice to watch Stella.

You take a lot more care of mowers that you service than most folks.

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.

Well done 👍🏼. You’ve done a great job.

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. 🔧👍

Great video Stella.

Nice job Stella! I love the toro personal pace mowers to flip, especially with the quantum engine. I never negotiate on the price of those. Stay safe and stay cool! 👍🇺🇸

Good full service. Hard to find shops that do that kind of in depth service. On blades that just need a "refresh", I use a hand file. That's just my preference. Another good video.

Another great video Juan, I love the Quantum engines, so much fun to work on. 🙂👍

Fantastic job Stella great video great editing and really clear and direct 👍

Thank You for Sharing

Hi Hun... Proper service.. we don't see a lot of the personal pace over here... A professional service from a professional lady..

Thanks again for sharing your knowledge. Preventative maintenance will go along way and ensure years of trouble free equipment.

I got a dad who's in his 80's who go full turret when you try to service his dead mower. And he has 3 of them.

Nice work Stella.

Good video. I like to use a teaspoon of DSX extra in the oil and it keeps the engine temperature down and uses less fuel. Heat is the enemy of mechanical devices

Good video Stella. You give some tips on serving this mower in the video!

Great job Stella as allways.Had a mower dropped off to service yesterday but had a hole in valve side so a write off.But got loads of spares plus cutomer gave me some cash result.All the best.

Nice work stella my personal mower is a toro recycler 22" 2010 model different style deck has a quantum engine that 12 years old (2011)

Great to see that you are using some gease on these parts. I have noticed that many people forget or do not care about parts lubrication on small engines?

Great video! This is so helpful. Thanks for sharing this. 👍🏼

People can’t change the oil and air filter but they sure know how to increase the RPMs

Kodibass outboard motor service channel uses triflow for starting fluid as its a lubricant great video Chris from OHIO gooooooo Buckeyes

Great video . One thing I like to do on older mowers is retorque the head bolts , you'll be surprised how loose some of them get .

Stella, thank you for another informative video. Mow Happy

Great video 📹 👍

Great Job!

👍👍👍.Thank you

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.

I’ve been given a similar Toro.. Decent machines, the personnel pace is odd to begin with but you get used to it.

Great video Stella, well explained for wanting to do a service themselves 👍👍

Glad you are going to clean the grass off the blade otherwise the balance of it is going off when you sharpen it then check it out for balance

Hi mower lady I love your videos. Through them, I managed to clean my dad’s carb and get his mower running. However I don’t think he ever changed the oil. I did 2 oil changes and the oil is still very dark 😅 do you have any suggestions on what to do?

There should be a drain plug but you need to remove the belt shield

Saw Ms. Juan Noticed TORO Somethin' lawn?! No Java burro?! Now work at Washin' this Sharpen that Oil dat an' diss Check D list Years go by Things R missed Makes Yo sigh Task is done Tks now due Juan has won Tuned as new

Another great video Stella :-) I did laugh at the raccoon 🤣 how do you like the personal pace? I haven’t seen them out here, but they sure sound like a good idea!

I enjoy your videos. On this rear drive Toro aren't there grease fittings for the back wheels or is that just on the Super Recyclers? You do a great job!

If rolling machine backwards and it squeaks you need to pull drive wheels and service drive gears

On my Super Recycler 21565 the cryptic diagrams in the manual say not to screw down the cap when checking the oil. Seems like in every toro video I see people screwing it down to check. I don’t know how critical it really is. Thanks.

Thanks your advise my lawn move issue, when i turn the blade i hear the noise Camshaft lose ? Thanks

HI : I have a Toro like this I bought new 20 + years ago. Lately It will not rev high enough to work well. I'v adjusted control location a bit to alter control cable tension, very small improvement. I can't see any throttle adjustments on the carb or anywhere- any suggestions?

Hi I have Lawn mover Brig & Straton 6.75 but the issue when stop Engines after 10 second I hear the noise knock knock RPM 3100 , Please Tell me how to fix Thanks

Can you please tell me how you turned the rpm down?

Like to buy a Troy Bilt TB240 if anyone has one. Leave contact info please.

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.

wow! 20005ish Toro recycler that's not a tecumseh!
