How to fix uneven cutting height on my Toro 74710 TimeCutter SS 3225?
- A
  amy40Jul 31, 2025
  If the cutting height of your Toro Lawn Mower is uneven, several factors could be responsible. Ensure the blade(s) is sharp, and sharpen them if not. Replace any bent cutting blade(s). Make sure the mower is level from side-to-side and front-to-rear. Adjust the anti-scalp wheel height if it's not set correctly. Clean the underside of the mower if it's dirty. Also, adjust the tire pressure to the correct level. If a blade spindle is bent, contact an Authorized Service Dealer.

What to do if the blades of my Toro 74710 TimeCutter SS 3225 Lawn Mower do not rotate?
- C
  Courtney WeeksAug 4, 2025
  If the blades on your Toro Lawn Mower aren't rotating, it could be due to a worn, loose, or broken drive belt, in this case install a new drive belt. Alternatively, the drive belt might be off the pulley, so install the drive belt and check the adjusting shafts and belt guides for the correct position. Another potential cause is a faulty Power Take-Off (PTO) switch or PTO clutch, or mower belt is worn, loose, or broken. In the first case contact an Authorized Service Dealer, and in the second case install a new mower belt.

Why is my Toro 74710 TimeCutter SS 3225 Lawn Mower engine overheating?
- R
  Rebecca CooperAug 8, 2025
  If your Toro Lawn Mower engine is overheating, several factors could be the cause. First, the engine load may be excessive, so try reducing the ground speed. Second, check the oil level in the crankcase and add oil if it's low. Also, ensure that the cooling fins and air passages under the engine-blower housing are free from obstructions. Another potential issue is a dirty air cleaner; in this case, clean or replace the air-cleaner element. If the problem persists, it could be due to dirt, water, or stale fuel in the fuel system, and you should contact an Authorized Service Dealer.

How to fix a Toro Lawn Mower when the starter does not crank?
- C
  Christopher CrosbyAug 13, 2025
  If the starter on your Toro Lawn Mower isn't cranking, there are a few things you can check. Make sure the blade-control switch is disengaged. Also, the motion-control levers must be in the park position. A dead battery could also be the reason, so charge the battery. Check the electrical connections for corrosion or looseness, and ensure they have good contact. Also, inspect the fuse and replace it if it's blown. If none of these steps work, a relay or switch may be damaged, and you should contact an Authorized Service Dealer.

Inspect the cutting blade(s) for bends or imbalance, and replace them if necessary. Ensure the blade-mounting bolt is tightened securely. If a blade spindle is bent, contact an Authorized Service Dealer.

Inspect the spark plug(s) for damage or incorrect gap; replace if needed. Also, make sure that there is no dirt in the fuel filter, replace the fuel filter if needed.
