Why Toro 74408TE Lawn Mower starter does not crank?
- K
  Karen MoonAug 12, 2025
  If your Toro Lawn Mower's starter isn't cranking, it could be due to several reasons. Ensure the blade control (PTO) is disengaged, the parking brake is set, and you are seated on the seat. Also, check if the battery is dead and needs charging, or if the electrical connections are corroded or loose, requiring a check for good contact. Finally, see if a fuse is blown and needs replacement. If none of these steps work, the relay or switch might be defective, and you should contact an Authorized Service Dealer.

Replace the spring if the idler spring is broken or missing. Add hydraulic fluid to the reservoir or let it cool down if the hydraulic fluid level is low or too hot.

  Tamara JacksonSep 8, 2025
  If your Toro Lawn Mower experiences abnormal vibration, it could be due to several reasons. Check if the cutting blade(s) are bent or unbalanced and replace them if necessary. Ensure the blade mounting bolt and the engine mounting bolts are tightened. Also, check for any loose engine pulley, idler pulley, or blade pulley and tighten the appropriate pulley. If the engine pulley is damaged, the blade spindle is bent, or the motor mount is loose or worn, contact an Authorized Service Dealer.
