  josephjacobsSep 2, 2025
  An uneven cutting height on your Toro Lawn Mower could be due to several factors. The blade(s) might not be sharp, so sharpen them. Alternatively, the cutting blade(s) could be bent, so install new cutting blade(s). The mower deck might not be level, so level the mower deck from side-to-side and front-to-rear. The underside of the mower could be dirty, so clean it. Also, the tire pressure might not be correct, so adjust it.

  Joseph ThomasSep 2, 2025
  If the blades on your Toro Lawn Mower aren't rotating, check for a damaged, worn, loose, or broken mower deck belt and install a new deck belt if needed. If the mower deck belt is off the pulley, install it back on the deck pulley and check the idler pulley, idler arm, and spring for correct position and function. Inspect the pump drive belt for wear, looseness, or breakage; check the belt tension or install a new belt. Replace the idler spring if it is broken or missing.

What does it mean if the oil-pressure light is on in my Toro 72902TE?

  If the oil-pressure light is on and the engine rpm is low on your Toro Lawn Mower, the engine-control unit has likely limited engine rpm, known as “limp” mode. Let the engine cool, then check the engine-oil level. If the level is above the “add” line, contact an Authorized Toro Service Dealer.
