    Why Toro Lawn Mower blades do not rotate?
    • C
      Christopher McgrathAug 27, 2025
      If the blades on your Toro Lawn Mower aren't rotating, it could be due to a worn, loose, or broken mower deck belt; in this case, install a new deck belt. Another possibility is that the mower deck belt is off the pulley; reinstall it and check the idler pulley, idler arm, and spring for correct position and function. Also, check the pump drive belt for wear, looseness, or breakage, and adjust the belt tension or install a new belt. Finally, inspect the idler spring and replace it if it's broken or missing.

    What to do if my Toro 74960 Lawn Mower clutch does not engage?
    • J
      Justin MendezSep 9, 2025
      If the clutch on your Toro Lawn Mower doesn't engage, it could be due to a blown fuse, low voltage supply at the clutch, a damaged coil, inadequate current supply, or a rotor/armature air gap that is too large. To address this, replace the fuse, check the coil resistance, battery charge, charging system, and wiring connections, and replace components if necessary; repair or replace the clutch lead wire or electrical system and clean the connector contacts; remove the shim or replace the clutch.

    What should I do if the oil-pressure light is on and the engine rpm is low on my Toro 74960 Lawn Mower?
    • P
      Patrick LeonardSep 18, 2025
      If the oil-pressure light is on and the engine rpm is low on your Toro Lawn Mower, it means the engine-control unit has limited engine rpm, known as “limp” mode. Let the engine cool and check the engine-oil level. If the level is above the “add” line, contact an Authorized Toro Service Dealer.

      If the malfunction indicator light (MIL) comes on in your Toro Lawn Mower, try the following: Turn the engine off and let it cool. Use new gas. Open the fuel shut-off valve.

      If your Toro lawn mower isn't driving, check if the by pass valves are not closed tight and tighten them. Also, inspect the pump belt for wear, looseness, or breakage and change the belt if needed. Ensure the pump belt is on a pulley. Replace any broken or missing idler spring. Lastly, check the hydraulic oil level and add hydraulic oil to reservoirs or let it cool down if it's too hot.

    • J
      Jesse MillerSep 16, 2025
      If the malfunction indicator light (MIL) comes on in your Toro Lawn Mower, there could be several reasons: * The engine might be too hot, so shut it off and let it cool. * Old fuel in the fuel tank may be the cause, so use new fuel. * The fuel shutoff valve might not be fully open, so open it completely. * The air cleaner could be dirty; ensure it's clean and replace it if needed. * The battery may not be charged, so charge or replace it. * There might be low voltage from the battery; ensure you're using a good, fully charged 12V battery. * A fuse could be blown; check and replace any blown fuses.

      To fix an uneven cutting height on your Toro Lawn Mower, start by sharpening any dull blades or installing new ones if bent. Ensure the mower deck is level from side-to-side and front-to-rear.

    Why is my Toro 74960 Lawn Mower resulting in uneven cutting height?
    • G
      gbaileyAug 30, 2025
      If your Toro Lawn Mower is mowing with an uneven cutting height, several factors could be responsible. Ensure the blades are sharp; if not, sharpen them. Bent cutting blades can also cause this, so install new ones. Check if the mower deck is level from side-to-side and front-to-rear, and adjust as needed. A dirty underside of the mower can interfere with cutting, so clean it. Also, verify that the tire pressure is correct. For a bent blade spindle, contact an Authorized Service Dealer.
