Why won't my Toro 74291 Riding mower engine start?
There are several reasons why your Toro Riding mower engine might not start. It could be due to an empty fuel tank, which requires you to fill it with fuel. Alternatively, a dirty air cleaner may be the cause, in which case you should clean or replace the air cleaner element. Another possibility is dirt in the fuel filter, necessitating its replacement.
Why is my Toro 74291 Riding mower cutting height uneven?
Uneven cutting height on your Toro Riding mower could be due to several factors. The blades might not be sharp, so sharpen them. Bent cutting blades can also cause this, requiring replacement. Ensure the mower is level from side-to-side and front-to-rear. A dirty underside of the mower can interfere with cutting, so clean it. Finally, check and adjust the tire pressure to the correct levels.
Why don't the blades rotate on my Toro 74291 Riding mower?
If the blades on your Toro Riding mower aren't rotating, the drive belt might be worn, loose, or broken; check the belt tension. It's also possible that the drive belt is off the pulley; install the drive belt and check the adjusting shafts and belt guides for the correct position. Another cause could be a worn, loose, or broken deck belt, in which case you should install a new deck belt. Alternatively, the deck belt might be off the pulley; install the deck pulley and check the idler pulley, idler arm, and spring for correct position and function. Lastly, a broken or missing idler spring would need to be replaced.
What to do if my Toro 74291 starter does not crank?
If the starter on your Toro Riding mower doesn't crank, several issues could be the cause. Ensure that the blade control (PTO) is disengaged and the parking brake is set. Also, make sure you are seated properly. Check if the battery is dead and charge it if necessary. Inspect the electrical connections for corrosion or looseness, and replace the fuse if it's blown. If these steps don't resolve the issue, it may be a defective relay or switch.
Why does my Toro 74291 Riding mower engine lose power?
Your Toro Riding mower engine might be losing power for several reasons. The engine load could be excessive, so try reducing the ground speed. A dirty air cleaner can also cause this issue; clean the air cleaner element. Check the oil level in the crankcase and add oil if it's low. Additionally, make sure the cooling fins and air passages above the engine are free from obstructions. The vent hole in the fuel cap could be plugged, so clean or replace the fuel cap. Finally, a dirty fuel filter could be the culprit, requiring you to replace it.
What causes abnormal vibration in my Toro Riding mower?
Abnormal vibration in your Toro Riding mower can stem from several sources. The cutting blades might be bent or unbalanced, requiring you to install new ones. Check if the blade mounting bolt is loose and tighten it. Similarly, ensure the engine mounting bolts are tight. Inspect for loose engine, idler, or blade pulleys and tighten them as needed.
What to do if my Toro Riding mower overheats?
If your Toro Riding mower is overheating, consider the following: reduce the ground speed if the engine load is excessive. Check the oil level in the crankcase and add oil if it is low. Also, inspect the cooling fins and air passages above the engine for any obstructions and remove them.
What to do if my Toro 74291 does not drive?
If your Toro Riding mower isn't driving, it could be due to a few reasons. First, check that the bypass valve is closed tightly and tighten it if necessary. A worn, loose, or broken drive or pump belt could also be the problem, requiring you to change the belt. Similarly, if the drive or pump belt is off a pulley, change the belt. A broken or missing idler spring would need to be replaced. Lastly, check the hydraulic fluid level; if it's low, add hydraulic fluid to the reservoir, or if it's too hot, let it cool down.
