Why does my Toro 74141 Lawn Mower engine lose power?
- A
  Alexandra HooperAug 18, 2025
  Your Toro Lawn Mower engine may be losing power for a number of reasons: the engine load could be excessive, so reduce the ground speed; the air cleaner could be dirty, so clean it; the oil level in the crankcase could be low, so add oil; the cooling fins and air passages above the engine could be plugged, so remove the obstruction; the vent hole in the fuel cap could be plugged, so clean or replace the fuel cap; or there could be dirt in the fuel filter, so replace it. For dirt, water, or stale fuel in the fuel system, contact an Authorized Service Dealer.

  Robert FaulknerAug 21, 2025
  To fix an uneven cutting height on your Toro Lawn Mower, start by sharpening any dull blades or installing new ones if bent. Ensure the mower deck is level from side-to-side and front-to-rear. Clean the underside of the mower deck, adjust the tire pressure to the correct level. For a bent blade spindle, contact an Authorized Service Dealer.

  If the starter does not crank, check the following: Ensure the blade-control switch (PTO) is disengaged. Set the parking brake. Make sure the motion-control levers are in the neutral-lock position. Ensure the operator is seated. If these aren't the issue, charge the battery and check the electrical connections for good contact. Also, replace the fuse if it's blown. For relay or switch issues, contact an Authorized Service Dealer.

  yolsonAug 27, 2025
  If your Toro Lawn Mower is vibrating abnormally, here are some things to check: 1. The cutting blades may be bent or unbalanced, in which case you should install new cutting blades. 2. The blade mounting bolt may be loose, so tighten it. 3. The engine mounting bolts may be loose, so tighten them. 4. The engine pulley, idler pulley, or blade pulley may be loose, so tighten the appropriate pulley. For damaged engine pulleys, bent blade spindles, or loose/worn motor mounts, contact an Authorized Service Dealer.

Why is my Toro 74141 engine overheating?
- A
  April JamesAug 30, 2025
  The engine may overheat if the engine load is excessive, so reduce the ground speed. Also, check if the oil level in the crankcase is low and add oil if needed. Another possible cause is plugged cooling fins and air passages above the engine, so remove any obstructions.

What to do if my Toro 74141 machine does not drive?

  Howard ClementsSep 3, 2025
  If the machine doesn't drive, make sure the bypass valves are closed tight. If not, tighten them. Check if the pump belt is worn, loose, or broken or off a pulley, and change the belt if needed. Also, see if the idler spring is broken or missing, and replace the spring if necessary. Finally, ensure the hydraulic oil level is not low or too hot; add hydraulic oil to the reservoirs or let it cool down.

What to do if my Toro 74141 Lawn Mower clutch does not engage?
- B
  Brianna JohnsonSep 6, 2025
  If the clutch does not engage, replace the fuse and check the coil resistance, battery charge, charging system, and wiring connections, and replace components if necessary. Also, check the coil resistance, battery charge, charging system, and wiring connections and replace parts if necessary if there is low voltage supply at the clutch. If the coil is damaged, replace the clutch. If there is inadequate current supply, repair or replace the clutch lead wire or electrical system and clean the connector contacts. If the rotor/armature air gap is too large, remove the shim or replace the clutch.

Why does my Toro Lawn Mower pull to the left or right?
- S
  Stacey MccormickSep 8, 2025
  If your Toro Lawn Mower pulls to the left or right, it may be due to tracking needing adjustment, so adjust the tracking. Also, the tire pressure in the drive tires may not be correct, so adjust the tire pressure.

What to do if Toro 74141 blades do not rotate?
- L
  Lisa MendozaSep 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.
