What to do if Toro 72946 blades do not rotate?
- C
  Charles LewisSep 12, 2025
  If the blades do not rotate, it could be due to a worn, loose, or broken mower deck belt, so install a new deck belt. Alternatively, the mower deck belt could be off the pulley, so install the mower deck pulley and check the idler pulley, idler arm, and spring for correct position and function. Another cause could be a worn, loose, or broken pump drive belt, so check the belt tension or install a new belt. Finally, the idler spring could be broken or missing, so replace the spring.

Why is the malfunction indicator light (MIL) on my Toro 72946 Lawn Mower on?
- J
  Jack LopezSep 12, 2025
  If the malfunction indicator light (MIL) on your Toro Lawn Mower comes on, there could be several reasons. The engine might be too hot, in which case you should turn it off and let it cool. Old gas in the tank can also trigger the light, so try using new gas. Ensure the fuel-shutoff valve is completely open. A dirty air cleaner can cause this issue, so clean or replace it as needed. Also, check the battery charge and replace the battery if necessary. If the problem persists, it could be due to incorrect or dirty fuel filters, loose connections to the sensors, low battery voltage, or a blown fuse. For fuel filters or sensor issues, contact an Authorized Service Dealer. Ensure you are using a good 12-volt battery and replace any blown fuses.

If the mower deck belt is off the pulley, reinstall it and check the idler pulley, idler arm, and spring for correct position and function.

  If your Toro Lawn Mower isn't driving, check if the bypass valves are closed tightly. If not, tighten them. A worn, loose, or broken pump belt can also cause this issue, so replace the belt. If the pump belt is off a pulley, replace the belt. A broken or missing idler spring can prevent driving, so replace the spring. Also, check the hydraulic oil level; if it's low, add hydraulic oil to the reservoirs, or let it cool down if it's too hot.
