Why my Toro 77281TA Lawn Mower engine does not start?
- K
  Kristina WallaceAug 22, 2025
  If the engine of your Toro Lawn Mower does not start, starts hard, or fails to keep running, several factors could be at play. Ensure the fuel tank is full and the throttle is in the fast position. Check for dirt in the fuel filter and replace it if necessary. Additionally, the fuel system might have dirt, water, or stale fuel, requiring cleaning and flushing. Inspect the air cleaner for dirt and clean or replace the element. The seat switch, electrical connections, and spark plug should also be checked for proper function, corrosion, or damage. Replace or adjust the spark plug as needed and verify the spark plug wire connection. Finally, a worn or damaged switch could be the culprit, requiring testing and replacement.

What to do if my Toro 77281TA starter does not crank?
- K
  Kathleen RichardsonAug 23, 2025
  If your Toro Lawn Mower's starter does not crank, it could be due to several reasons. First, ensure that the blade control switch (PTO) is disengaged. Next, verify that the parking brake is engaged by moving the motion control levers to the neutral lock position (park). A dead battery can also prevent the starter from cranking, so charge the battery. Check the electrical connections for corrosion or looseness, ensuring good contact. A worn or damaged switch or a blown fuse can also cause this issue, requiring testing and replacement of the faulty switch or fuse.

  If the cutting height of your Toro Lawn Mower is uneven, there are several potential causes. Start by sharpening the blades. If a cutting blade is bent, install a new one. Ensure the mower is level from side-to-side and front-to-rear. If applicable, adjust the anti-scalp wheel height. Clean the underside of the mower deck. Adjust the tire pressure. For a bent blade spindle, contact an Authorized Service Dealer.

Why does my Toro Lawn Mower engine lose power?
- T
  Tara MartinezAug 27, 2025
  If your Toro Lawn Mower engine loses power, it could be due to several reasons. The engine load might be excessive, so reduce the ground speed or raise the height-of-cut. A dirty air cleaner can also cause power loss, so clean or replace the air cleaner element. Check the oil level in the crankcase and add oil if it's low. Ensure the cooling fins and air passages above the engine are free from obstructions and thoroughly clean them. Inspect the fuel tank vent system for any blockages and repair if needed. Also, check the fuel filter for dirt and replace it if necessary. Finally, the fuel system might have dirt, water, or stale fuel, which requires cleaning and flushing.

Why Toro 77281TA Lawn Mower blades do not rotate?
- S
  Shelby WebbAug 31, 2025
  If the blades of your Toro Lawn Mower do not rotate, it could be due to a damaged, worn, loose, or broken mower deck belt, in which case you should install a new deck belt. Alternatively, the mower deck belt might be off the pulley; reinstall it on the deck pulley and check the idler pulley, idler arm, and spring for correct position and function. Finally, if the idler spring is broken or missing, replace it.

Why does my Toro Lawn Mower vibrate abnormally?
- D
  David MurraySep 1, 2025
  If your Toro Lawn Mower vibrates abnormally, several issues could be the cause. Check the cutting blades for bending or unbalance and install new ones if necessary. Ensure the blade mounting bolt and engine mounting bolts are tightened securely. Inspect the engine pulley, idler pulley, or blade pulley for looseness and tighten them, ensuring idler springs are not overstretched. If the engine pulley is damaged, replace it. A bent blade spindle should also be replaced. Finally, check the motor mount for looseness or wear and tighten the mounting bolts.

  If your Toro Lawn Mower does not drive, ensure the bypass rods are in the drive position. If the drive belt is worn, loose, off a pulley, or broken, replace it.

Why does my Toro Lawn Mower pull to one side?
- J
  Jason WareSep 5, 2025
  If your Toro Lawn Mower pulls to the left or right (with levers fully forward), the tracking may need adjustment. Additionally, ensure both smart speed shift forks are correctly aligned and installed on the motion control linkage. Incorrect tire pressure in the drive tires can also cause this issue, so adjust the tire pressure accordingly.
