    What to do if my Toro 74978 won't drive?

      Ryan HallSep 2, 2025
      If your Toro Lawn Mower isn't driving, check if the bypass valves are not closed tight and tighten them. Also, the pump belt could be worn, loose, or broken, or off a pulley, in which case change the belt. The idler spring might be broken or missing, so replace the spring. The hydraulic-fluid level might be low or too hot, so add hydraulic fluid to reservoirs or let it cool down.

    How to troubleshoot uneven cutting height on my Toro Lawn Mower?

      Tamara MartinSep 2, 2025
      An uneven cutting height on your Toro Lawn Mower could be due to several factors. The blade(s) might not be sharp, so sharpen them. Alternatively, the cutting blade(s) could be bent, so install new cutting blade(s). The mower deck might not be level, so level the mower deck from side-to-side and front-to-rear. The underside of the mower could be dirty, so clean it. Also, the tire pressure might not be correct, so adjust it.

      Melanie SmithSep 2, 2025
      If the blades on your Toro Lawn Mower aren't rotating, check for a damaged, worn, loose, or broken mower deck belt and install a new deck belt if needed. If the mower deck belt is off the pulley, install it back on the deck pulley and check the idler pulley, idler arm, and spring for correct position and function. Inspect the pump drive belt for wear, looseness, or breakage; check the belt tension or install a new belt. Replace the idler spring if it is broken or missing.

    Why Toro 74978 Lawn Mower clutch will not engage?
    • T
      Tristan DunnSep 23, 2025
      If the clutch on your Toro Lawn Mower will not engage, it could be due to a few reasons. A fuse might be blown, so replace it and check the coil resistance, battery charge, charging system, and wiring connections, replacing if necessary. There might be low voltage supply at the clutch, so check coil resistance, battery charge, charging system, and wiring connections, replacing if necessary. The coil could be damaged, so replace the clutch. There might be inadequate current supply, so repair or replace the clutch lead wire or electrical system and clean connector contacts. Finally, the rotor/armature airgap might be too large, so remove a shim or replace the clutch.
