Thanks for your time. Great video. Next year your son will be able to do it... . My son is 32 and he never has... wish you better luck..

Appreciate your thoroughness

Good stuff Jimmy. She’s ready for more action now!

Always smart to read the manual when it comes to mowers and other small engines and stick to the maintenance schedule.

You made the oil ratio on the bottle well said!

Well done brother! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Best thing to do as soon as you finish mowing change the oil. The oil is hot and will flow

Excellent video, sir. Thanks for empowering me to handle this myself for a change!

Thanks champion

Nice work, Jimmy!

U love ur tools I can tell

I'm taking notes

Just changed my oil thanks

Nice video!

My owners manual stated to turn mower with wheels up to drain oil not on side?

I’ve found that using a short piece of flexible 1/2 inch irrigation pipe works great to drain the oil on my time master. I’d recommend also a hour meter/tach to keep track of maintenance and to ensure your motor is at the proper RPMs.

GREAT

People talking about a drain plug: Is there an illustration or image somewhere online where I can see exactly where the drain plug is? I have this exact model but can’t find it

Hey Jimmy, how many oil changes did it take to fill up that container? And where did you dispose of it? Thanks for your help! 👍🏼

Just got my Time Master today. Funny story....Got home and was ready to put that bad boy to work. Cranked him up and started mowing. All of a sudden the trimmings were going every where. Out the sides, top and back. I was like this can’t be right, this is how it mulches?!....and just continued to finish mowing. Come to find out my local dealer forgot to give me the damn mulch plug. I had the bag and side discharge but no plug. 🤦‍♂️

What kind of torque wrench are you using

You didn’t use the All American Sharpener to sharpen the blades? Good video by the way!

No anti-seize on the blade retaining bolts.

good video, always use a mask when grinding metal

Just a heads up on the left side of the mower there is a water hook up to clean the deck.

So, there is no drain plug on the bottom of the engine? That sucks!

Jimmy, i was wondering I think you had 8000 sqft in the back and im not positive about the front but are you able to cut your front and back on one tank? I herd a lot of complaints about tank size and just trying to get a feel for how many sqft I can cut on a tank.

Jimmy, thank you for the instructions. I have a couple of questions if you don't mind answering. I'm seriously thinking of buying this model at Home Depot. Do those blades come with the mower, and do you tilt and clean the bottom deck after each use? I ask this because I've always cleaned the bottom. I had a friend who never cleaned her mower and the deck became rusty and eventually created rust holes. Also, why did you sharpen the blades after 5 hours? Finally, since this video post, how do you like the mower so far? Good quality? Any issues? Thank you so much.

I know the gas tank it 1.2quarts but like is that like 2 soda of 20oz of gas or is me

I dont see in the manual where it states 60lb torque for tightening the mower blades ... where did you find this? Maybe its not in the paper manual and online?

I don't know what kind of torque wrench you are using but every one I've ever own in the book says reset the torque wrench to 0 after use.

JImmy Lewis, what air tool and what grind wheel are you using? I just bought a Timemaster and like to keep my blades sharp. Great channel!! Sub'd

I seen a video that the guy put blocks under the wheels so when he tips it over to drain oil, it’s higher and can tilt even more to drain better. Hope this helps👍

Do we need to recharge battery each time after mowing, after the first charge with AC outlet?

Scraping the grass under the deck is much easier if you tip the mower on it's side and use a garden hose.

There is a drain plug on it but you have to remove the engine to get to it, or once you find it you could drill a hole in the deck.

What kind of oil you use?

Use the drain plug under motor towards the back, 1/2” socket extension square recessed piece of cake.

Honest question, Can you change the oil like this with gas in the tank? Will there be any problems?

Jimmy where did you purchase your timemaster(what store)? Also after watching this video again you do a great job with the up keep of your mower..👍🏽👍🏽

why did you sharpen the blades when it has only ran for like 5 to let say 7 hours?

Great video. Is this a generic lawnmower oil or is there a type you recommend?

It seems you don’t clean your mower (under deck) after each mow using the hose hookup. Is there a reason I shouldn’t be doing that?

Hey Jimmy, does that air compressor keep up with that grinder, or do you have to stop and let it fill up?

I just purchase my timeline mower, I use my air compressor with a 2' air wand to clean out the bottom of the deck after each time I use it. I think it would be much easier to remove the blades before cleaning off the build up of grass. Did you balance your blades off camera after sharpening them, if not your asking for premature bearing wear in due time. Thank you for the video..

FYI. I Clean my lawnmower after every time I cut the lawn, the reason I do this is because it is easier to hose to the grass off with water than using a scraper to scrap off grass from underneath, by using your your scraper you are also creating Scratches that later can possibly create rust under your lawnmower. This is just a friendly suggestion. Trying to help you save your investment. ✌️👍

1 quart is actually 32 oz. So if you started with a full quart you should only pour in oil until it’s at the 14oz line. If you started with a full quart you may have overfilled.

Quick question, but not about the sharpening or the oil change....On my mower, that flap in the back lasted about a year and a half. If I back up it gets turned or something and then starts splitting, and then part of it gets caught underneath. Next thing I knew I'm cutting pieces of the flap! I bought a new flap, but I'm hesitant about putting it on. Do you know why this would happen? Seems like an odd design! Thanks!

What type of oil does toro say SAE 30 to 10w30?

I'm installing a fuel shut off on mine.

Do you think it's better to change the oil in the fall, OR in the spring right before you start using it? I would think that would keep the oil fresher perhaps, not putting it in till you're about ready to use it. You don't actually sharpen the blade every time you change oil do you? Great video, thanks, keep posting any new discoveries, hacks, disappointments, repairs etc. I've only used mine about four times and it often makes slight rattling noise, not sure what is causing the ting ting ting ting ting, but without being able to diagnose it it's not easy to justify any repair service. Any idea what might be causing this?. Did you purchase the extended warranty? I never go for those things, having read that they are usually not worthwhile.

Hey buddy got a question. Changed my oil today just like you. It was my first oil change on this machine. Waited about 5 minutes after sitting her upright before trying to start her and she won't fire up. Engine seems locked up completely. Pull start won't budge.... What gives? I'm so confused.

What oil were you using

I couldn’t get the bolts off the blades. Tried wd40 and everything. Any ideas?

32oz (not 30 as you stated) in a Quart, minus 18oz for the oil change leaves you with 14, not 12.

Why do you have to unplug the spark plug?

You didn't tell us what oil is recommended

What kinda oil are you using?

I like the little guy. My 2 year old grandson likes to watch me cut the grass.

So does it hold 18 or 12oz? About to do my first oil change on mine.

Dam for some reason my blades won’t come off my timemaster . Having trouble .

Do they require filter change?

There is a plug underneath

I thought it was supposed to be 20 ounces for a full tank of oil?

What oil do I put in it

Now that cutting out is a real pisser

Get a mo jack scrapper blade, less damage to the deck.

2:10 for oil change start.

You forgot to balance the blades when sharpening, but you did remember the 60 foot lbs of torque.

Watch the video before commenting, he removed the spark plug wire. Can't tell you how many videos I watch where people ask questions or make comments without watching and listening to whole video.

10w30 full synthethic ?

why not tip the mower the other way?

Snap On! Dude, you don't cheap out on your tools, do you?!

Nice video, although I wouldn't scrape the bottom with a metal scraper. Plastic.

I think it works better if you take the blade's off first before cleaning.

i thought it was 20 oz of oil

never double tap when torquing

Balance the blades after sharpening them.

Biting my teeth waiting to see if he pulled the spark plug wire.... besides the fact he ran it out of gas prior to starting.......

No oil drain plug!!??? How frickin' cheap can you get!??? What did that save in manufacture cost, 50 cents per mower...JHC!

😂

Nice video, thanks. Nobody cares about your old mower....stop talking about it

No to the music

Was considering one of these but the more I find our about it, the less likely that appears. Certainly not going to pay post-Biden price for it!

A pressure washer with a 60° nozzle would have cleaned the underside of the mower deck in like 10 seconds. Work smarter, not harder.

Blades are timed with that stupid toothed drive belt. Not very smart design for avarage home user.

You’re grade for this job is a C-. No blade balancing was done, unless those are self balancing blades.. If so where can we buy a set?😂😂😂

Let's say it together, blade balancing. Blade sharpening. Not once did he check to see if it was sharp. Just cleaned off the bevel with his Harbor Freight sander.

Also you did not show nor tell the viewers how to DRAIN the oil. Kind of an important step to skip if you are going to do a video on changing the oil.
