Why won't my Toro Riding mower engine start?
- I
  ibellAug 8, 2025
  Your Toro Riding mower engine might not start due to several reasons: the fuel tank could be empty, the fuel valve might be off, or the choke isn't on. Other potential causes include a dirty air cleaner, loose or disconnected spark plug wire(s), a faulty spark plug, a dirty fuel filter, incorrect fuel, or low oil level in the crankcase. To resolve this, fill the fuel tank, open the fuel valve, turn the choke on, clean or replace the air cleaner, secure the spark plug wire(s), install a new spark plug, replace the fuel filter, drain the tank and replace the fuel with the proper type and add oil to the crankcase.

What to do if the starter does not crank on my Toro 74501?

  Lisa BakerAug 21, 2025
  If the starter on your Toro Riding mower isn't cranking, make sure that the blade control (PTO) is disengaged, the parking brake is set, and you are seated. Also, check if the battery is dead, the electrical connections are corroded or loose, or a fuse is blown. Move the PTO to disengaged, set the parking brake, sit on the seat, charge the battery, check the electrical connections for good contact, and replace the fuse.

Why is my Toro 74501 cutting height uneven?
- R
  Reginald DuncanAug 26, 2025
  An uneven cutting height on your Toro Riding mower can be attributed to several factors. The blade(s) might not be sharp, a cutting blade(s) could be bent, the mower might not be level, an anti-scalp wheel might not be set correctly, the underside of the mower could be dirty, or the tire pressure might be incorrect. Sharpen the blade(s), install a new cutting blade(s), level the mower, adjust the anti-scalp wheel height, clean the underside of the mower, and adjust the tire pressure.
