What to do if my Toro Riding mower engine will not start?
- R
  Regina RiveraAug 18, 2025
  If your Toro Riding mower engine won't start, starts hard, or fails to keep running, check the following: ensure the fuel tank is full, the fuel valve is open, and the choke is on. Also, verify the air cleaner isn't dirty (clean or replace it), the spark plug wire(s) is connected, and the spark plug(s) isn't damaged (install a new one if needed). Check the fuel filter for dirt (replace if necessary), and ensure the correct fuel type is in the tank (drain and replace if incorrect). Finally, check that the oil level in the crankcase is adequate (add oil if low). If the problem persists, it could be due to dirt, water, or stale fuel in the fuel system, in which case you should contact an Authorized Service Dealer.

Why won't my Toro 74502 engine start?
- C
  Crystal CamachoAug 20, 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.

  Stephen SheltonAug 23, 2025
  Your Toro Riding mower engine might be overheating due to several reasons: the engine load is excessive (reduce ground speed); the oil level in the crankcase is low (add oil); the cooling fins and air passages are plugged (remove the obstruction); or the air cleaner is dirty (clean or replace the air cleaner element). If none of these resolve the issue, there might be dirt, water, or stale fuel in the fuel system, requiring you to contact an Authorized Service Dealer.

  Your Toro Riding mower engine may be losing power because the engine load is excessive (reduce ground speed), the air cleaner is dirty (clean it), or the oil level in the crankcase is low (add oil). Also, check if the cooling fins and air passages are plugged (remove any obstructions), the spark plug(s) is damaged (install a new one), or the vent in the fuel cap is closed (open it). Additionally, a dirty fuel filter (replace it) or incorrect fuel (drain and replace) could be the cause. If the issue persists, there might be dirt, water, or stale fuel in the fuel system; in that case, contact an Authorized Service Dealer.

Why is my Toro Riding mower cutting height uneven?
- K
  Kimberly MartinezAug 28, 2025
  Uneven cutting height on your Toro Riding mower could be due to dull blades (sharpen them), bent cutting blades (install new ones), or the mower not being level (level it from side-to-side and front-to-rear). Also, check if an anti-scalp wheel is incorrectly set (adjust the height), the underside of the mower is dirty (clean it), or the tire pressure is incorrect (adjust it). If none of these steps resolve the issue, a bent blade spindle might be the cause, requiring you to contact an Authorized Service Dealer.

What to do if the starter does not crank on my Toro Riding mower?
- T
  Tiffany JacksonAug 31, 2025
  If the starter on your Toro Riding mower doesn't crank, make sure the blade control (PTO) is disengaged, the parking brake is on, and you are seated. Check if the battery is dead (charge it), the electrical connections are corroded or loose (check for good contact), or a fuse is blown (replace it). If the problem continues, a relay or switch may be damaged, requiring you to contact an Authorized Service Dealer.

Why does my Toro 74502 Riding mower have abnormal vibration?
- C
  Cindy GonzalesSep 2, 2025
  Abnormal vibration in your Toro Riding mower can stem from loose engine mounting bolts (tighten them), a loose engine pulley, idler pulley, or blade pulley (tighten the appropriate pulley). It could also be due to a damaged engine pulley or bent blade spindle, in which case you should contact an Authorized Service Dealer. Other potential causes include bent or unbalanced cutting blades (install new ones) or a loose blade mounting bolt (tighten it).

What to do if blades do not rotate on my Toro Riding mower?
- J
  Jennifer MartinezSep 5, 2025
  If the blades do not rotate on your Toro Riding mower, it may be due to a worn, loose, or broken drive belt (install a new one). Another cause may be that the drive belt is off of the pulley (install the drive belt and check the adjusting shafts and belt guides for the correct position). Lastly, the mower belt may be worn, loose, or broken (install a new mower belt).
