Thank you for posting this "excellent" video....great job....thanks for sharing!!!👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👏👌

Just finished replacing the solenoid on my toro. Works like a charm! Thanks for sharing your video Helped me a ton!

Excellent instructional video!

Thank you so much for posting such a detailed video. Like most people commenting, I've been searching for a basic walkthrough of how to debug this problem... Couldn't find anything from anyone. I appreciate you taking the time to do this. This is my project for the morning!

Omg I am so thankful for you. Single woman juat fixed her mower because of your video!

My lawn mower would not start . After watching this video, I ordered and installed the solenoid. The only issue I had was getting a plastic cap off of the top of the original solenoid was a little challenging, but I got it off. You saved me a lot of headache and frustration!! Thank You so much!!

I love how you made it work even when it wasn't exactly the same. You are right about keeping all nuts and bolts and washers.

Thank you so much for the detail! I found so many videos that JUST showed one part or the other - not tracing each part of the process.

Great straight forward common sense. 💪 Fixed it with testing just like you said!

Man, I thank God for you making this video, it solved my problem. Now I don't feel defeated!

Buddy you just saved me a headache LOL ! Thanks ! Can't wait till daylight to get working on mine . You made it look easy . I've got one just like yours . You helped me out a lot . Thank you sir .

Excellent instructional video. Exactly my issue. solenoid ordered.

You're a lifesaver! It ended up being both the starter and the solenoid for me 😂

Thank you for the direct and no nonsense instructions! We'll done.

Thank you for helping! I fix my Toro by myself thanks to you

Thank you for the video. You solved my problem!

This was a great video and I’m glad you made it. I think the only way to make this better is if I was the main star in the video lol.

Excellent Video; Extremely Resourceful in diagnosis of my Mower !!!

Was able to mow my lawn yesterday before a party because of you. You saved me. Thank you! Solenoid on order and will fix shortly. Well made video. Love the mustache. haha

Good video buddy. I figured this was my problem you just helped me confirm. Your video was the right amount of explanation. Some of these guys put videos out and just love,love,love to talk. What I like to do before I remove any wires is to take a few clear photos that I can refer back to to ensure proper replacement of color wiring. GOOD JOB Sir!

Thank you for the video. I'll visit you again next time.🍀

Thanks Sr. I just replaced the solenoid to my zer turn and it worked.

Hey there ! New battlers? I need to cut my grass to but I have no ride . Just can’t aford one . Have a good week. Good to see your all safe

Thanks for making this video! I had run through a field after doing the yard with a lot of brush in it and had a bunch of brush wrapped up throughout the mower when I finished... So, I pulled the brush out and rinsed off the mower. Trying to start it up to put it away and nothing. My first thought was I got the switch wet. But, that thing has sat in the rain before and not had an issue. The first part of your video was what solved my problem. I started checking connections. The brush from the field did a number on my connections. I feel stupid and relieved at the same time! Thank you!!!

God bless you brother good video

Excellent instructional video. Thank you!

You made my day much easier, and much appreciation!!

Hello, Your guidance was very good as you slowly go step by step in this process which I find more informative than other videos,I have a Toro zero turn and now I know what I will do to hopefully test my solenoid if that's the problem thanks... And it was!.

Great video. Fixing mine tomorrow!

Thanks for the video you helped me fix my toro💪🏾👍🏽🙏🏽

thank you so much!! your video is a blessing!

Great job! Love a job well done especially when done at home!

Great job, easy to understand, Thank You.

Great job! Support and best regards from Poland :)

Thanks for the video, it saved me some money.

Nice video. Thank you for sharing it.

awesome. thanks for sharing

Try holding the micro switches down then let them pop up hard like a car door lite switch fixed mine

Nice job!! I always feel a great sense of accomplishment just being able to identify the problem!

This sis weekly recurring problem for me .Do you know how to bypass the solenoid. ? Thanks Cliff

That was a great video!

Thanks man. This really helped

Napa sells the correct solenoid for $15.50 and it comes with nuts. Part #SME 7018601

Good video,. Question for you to start it, did you disable the seat shut-off ?

Good Job! Thank you

So helpful, thanks!!!!!!

Great video

What size nut did you need since the old ones didnt fit?

When you used your screwdriver to test the solenoid connection, did you have to crank the key or did touching the two do it? I ask because there wools be no way for me to test otherwise if I’m not sitting on the seats safety switch.

THAT DIDN'T SOUND TOO GOOD ON INITIAL START UP. SOUNDED LIKE LIKE A SLIGHTLY LOW BATTERY TO ME

Thank you💪❤

So I could turn it on using a screw driver but just to turn on once I will have to replace the solenoid then thanks

Thank you very much Sir!

What is the black box next to the solenoid? Could that be a problem for it not to crank? My mower sounds like it wants to crank but it just clicks a lot. I tried to bypass it with the screwdriver but I just hear it clicking a lot in the box.

Gracias amigo

So I was getting the click noise yesterday, but if I messed with the key I could find a sweet spot that would start up the mower, but as soon as I tried to engage the arms the engine would start cutting out. Same would happen if I engaged the PTO

Do you have videos replacing the starter or safety switches?

Hi there. This is very helpful. My SS5000 has something weird. I use the mower. After using it a while the engine shut off but the starter stayed on. Then it would not turn off even when key in off position and taken out. I am not sure if it would be the solenoid or the ignition switch. Any suggestions?

How did you know it is not the safety switches? The tech from Toro said it could be the safety switches.

Awesome

Thank you, my freaking wire had came off

That is a bad ass mustache.

Hey man thanks for making this video. I have a smiliar issue for my Toro SW 500 (Timecutter). I'm not the first owner but it will turn but not crank and I put a new battery in it today. Yesterday I got it to start twice and mowed a little. But it seems like dumb luck when it does. I did that solenoid test and just had a small volcano of sparks but no start. Everything was tight. You have any idea what else it might could be? I'd appreciate any insight I'd you have the time.

Question my mower sparked the hydros and engine started turning when I did the screwdriver thing but never came on is it still the solenoid you think?

How did you start the mower with the seat up?

Will you help an old veteran? Bought Titan Model # 75302 406712152 last year. From day one, when I started it, it missed a little then ran OK. It died. It will start back up & run for 4 second then run so badly you know it will dye. When I operate the coke, it makes no difference. It smokes white/blue fumes as if it is getting to much gas. What should I check 1st ? Your help will be greatly appreciated.

we've had this about a month now and there are no complaints. kzfaq.infoUgkx1VWTrayKBdCKAjzAcZ_Eg4dhHTae3LkN also recommend some of the decals are a little crooked; i guess the decal guy was having an off day. it came on a crate and took about 30 minutes to assemble, then about another 30 to install the bagger. it works great and i cannot foresee any big problems coming up. it is a sturdy, usa built product. update: the belt-drive clutch is still grabby, but i guess that is the nature of the device. as the literature advises be very careful on slopes or uneven surfaces-it can be very tippy.

So my starter solenoid sparks but will not turn the zero turn on. it does crank though. Any ideas?

hey man have you ever worked on a fx801v? was working fine and then just wont start anymore??

My bolt or nut would fall into mower or under mower and I spend an hour trying to find it. It’s ok I’m used to shit not working for me.

why didn't you disconnect neg to the battery?

Can anybody tell me what’s that black box piece next to the solenoid? Mine won’t stop whining making noise even when off and my mower won’t start

Bingo lol thanks big dog .

When I touch both with screwdriver it doesn't do anything

Were can I buy one

Where are you located

Mine still didn’t start. I even bought a new battery.

So if it's not the solenoid switch what is it

Crossed over the solenoid mower turns over still does not crank the key switch does not work what is going on with my mower

So what if the solenoid is good and it doesn’t crank, just clicks when you turn the key. Bad starter maybe?

how much are they ????????

I replaced the solenoid and mine still don't start, I hear a loud noise that sounds like it's coming from the starter, the starter is good because I jumped from the battery to the starter and it turned over, so now I'm puzzled does anybody have any ideas?

I change my solenoid and mine still didn’t start

What happened if it doesnt click

I'm guessing my solenoid is good cause my lawn mower is still making a clicking noise

You need to go get the right solenoid. Your fittings are all wrong

hey pal i cant help but notice you literally have the wrong part and forced the connections breaking the metal crimp in the process... my twitch viewers will be hearing about this. (i left a dislike) please use the correct size parts in the future.
