Why is my Toro Lawn Mower engine overheating?
- Z
  zbooneAug 18, 2025
  Several factors can cause your Toro Lawn Mower engine to overheat. First, the engine load might be excessive, so reduce the ground speed. Second, check the oil level in the crankcase and add oil if it is low. Third, obstructions in the cooling fins and air passages under the engine-blower housing can cause overheating; remove any obstructions. Fourth, a dirty air cleaner can contribute to the problem, so clean or replace the air-cleaner element. If the issue persists, there may be dirt, water, or stale fuel in the fuel system, in which case you should contact an Authorized Service Dealer.

Why does my Toro 75745W engine lose power?

  If your Toro Lawn Mower engine loses power, consider the following potential causes: * The engine load may be too high; reduce the ground speed. * A dirty air cleaner can restrict airflow; clean the air-cleaner element. * Low oil level in the crankcase can cause power loss; add oil. * Blocked cooling fins and air passages under the engine blower housing can lead to overheating and power loss; remove any obstructions. * Faulty spark plug(s) (pitted, fouled, or with an incorrect gap) can reduce engine power; install a new, correctly gapped spark plug(s). For issues such as a blocked fuel-tank vent, dirt in the fuel filter, dirt, water, or stale fuel in the fuel system, or incorrect fuel in the fuel tank, contact an Authorized Service Dealer.

How to fix uneven cutting height on my Toro 75745W?
- S
  Shawn GreerAug 25, 2025
  Uneven cutting height on your Toro Lawn Mower can result from several factors. Ensure the blade(s) is sharp; if not, sharpen them. Check for bent cutting blade(s) and replace them if necessary. Level the mower from side-to-side and front-to-rear. If applicable, adjust the anti-scalp wheel height. Clean the underside of the mower deck, and adjust the tire pressure. If a blade spindle is bent, contact an Authorized Service Dealer.

  If the starter on your Toro Lawn Mower doesn't crank, check these items: * Ensure the blade-control switch is disengaged. * Make sure the motion-control levers are in the PARK position. * Check the battery and charge it if it's dead. * Inspect the electrical connections for corrosion or looseness and ensure good contact. * See if a fuse is blown and replace it if necessary. If a relay or switch is damaged, contact an Authorized Service Dealer.

Why is my Toro 75745W vibrating abnormally?
- K
  Kathleen FieldsSep 1, 2025
  Abnormal vibration in your Toro Lawn Mower can stem from several issues. Start by checking the cutting blades for bending or imbalance; if found, install new cutting blades. Then, ensure the blade mounting bolt and engine mounting bolts are tightened securely. Also, inspect the engine pulley, idler pulley, or blade pulley for looseness and tighten the appropriate pulley. For a damaged engine pulley, bent blade spindle, or loose/worn motor mount, contact an Authorized Service Dealer.

Why are the blades not rotating on my Toro 75745W?
- T
  Tammy StewartSep 3, 2025
  If the blades on your Toro Lawn Mower aren't rotating, several issues could be the cause. A worn, loose, or broken drive belt can prevent blade rotation, so install a new drive belt. Additionally, ensure the drive belt is properly installed on the pulley, checking the adjusting shafts and belt guides for correct positioning. If the power-takeoff (PTO) switch or PTO clutch is faulty, or the mower belt is worn, loose, or broken, contact an Authorized Service Dealer or install a new mower belt.

  David HartSep 7, 2025
  If the fuel tank of your Toro Lawn Mower is collapsing or the machine frequently runs out of fuel, the air-cleaner paper element may be clogged. Clean the paper element.
