What to do if the transmission will not operate in either direction on my Toro Lawn Mower?
- P
  Phillip RiddleSep 3, 2025
  If the transmission on your Toro Lawn Mower won't operate in either direction, start by checking the oil level in the reservoir and fill it to the proper level if it's low. Also, inspect the external control linkage for any misadjustments, disconnections, binding, or damage, and adjust or repair the linkage as necessary. Ensure the towing by-pass valve is closed. Check the charge pressure and inspect the charge relief valve R5, repairing or replacing it if defective. Finally, inspect the servo control valve for plugged control orifices, a damaged mounting gasket, a misadjusted or damaged neutral return spring, a broken control connector pin, or a galled or stuck control spool, and repair or replace the control valve if necessary.

Why does my Toro Reelmaster 6500–D Lawn Mower engine emit smoke?
- A
  Ashley StewartAug 27, 2025
  If the Toro Lawn Mower engine emits smoke, it might be due to air in the feed system. Check the gaskets and pipes. It could also be a defective fuel supply, so check the filter cartridge. Incorrect pump timing or incorrectly spraying injectors could also be the cause, so check, clean, and adjust the injectors. Finally, insufficient automatic advance might be the issue, which would require you to have the pump repaired.

Why does my Toro Reelmaster 6500–D engine have no power?
- J
  Jasmine JonesAug 27, 2025
  If your Toro Lawn Mower engine has no power, it could be due to a defective fuel supply, so check the filter cartridge and pipes. It might also be due to incorrect pump timing, incorrect spray, or injector pressure out of adjustment, so check, clean, and adjust injectors. An air intake restriction could also be the cause, so check the hoses and air cleaner. Finally, insufficient automatic advance or discharge rates that are too low might be the issue, which would require you to have the pump repaired.

Why is the engine speed on my Toro Lawn Mower irregular?
- N
  Nathaniel DayAug 27, 2025
  If your Toro Lawn Mower engine speed is irregular, it could be due to a defective fuel supply, so check the filter cartridge and pipes. It could also be due to carbon fouled injectors, so check, clean, and adjust injectors. Finally, unequal discharge rates or a faulty governor might be the issue, which would require you to have the pump repaired.

Why do the front or rear reels on my Toro Reelmaster 6500–D Lawn Mower not turn or turn too slow?
- M
  Mrs. Kimberly GarciaSep 8, 2025
  If the front or rear reels on your Toro Lawn Mower do not turn or turn too slow, the reel speed valve FC1 (FC2) might be improperly adjusted, so make sure FC1 (FC2) is set to the desired reel speed. Do the cartridge valve service procedure for valve FC1 (FC2). Interchange FC1 and FC2 and check operation. Replace the faulty valve. The mow/backlap valve MD1 (MD2) might be partially rotated, so make sure MD1 (MD2) is fully seated in either the “Mow” or “Backlap “ position. Do the cartridge valve service procedure for valve MD1 (MD2). Interchange MD1 and MD2 and check operation. Replace the faulty valve. The relief valve R1 (R2) might be by-passing oil, so adjust relief valve R1 (R2) if necessary. Do the cartridge valve service procedure for valve R1 (R2). Replace the faulty valve.

Why does the wheel motor on my Toro Reelmaster 6500–D turn while unloaded, but slows down or stops when a load is applied?
- J
  James OlsonSep 9, 2025
  If the wheel motor on your Toro Lawn Mower turns while unloaded but slows down or stops when a load is applied, it could be due to a scored valve plate on the wheel motor, so remove the backplate and inspect the bronze surface of the valve plate, and replace the valve plate if scored. Another possible cause is scored or worn piston shoes on the wheel motor, so disassemble the motor and inspect the condition of the shoes on the pistons, and replace the rotating kit assembly as a complete set.

Why is it difficult to find neutral on my Toro Reelmaster 6500–D?
- K
  Kim MontoyaSep 2, 2025
  Difficulty finding neutral on your Toro Lawn Mower can be attributed to a few potential causes. The external control linkage may be misadjusted, disconnected, binding, or damaged, requiring you to adjust or repair the linkage. A faulty servo control valve could also be the issue, so inspect the control valve for plugged control orifices, a damaged mounting gasket, a misadjusted or damaged neutral return spring, a broken control connector pin, a galled or stuck control spool, or a misadjusted neutral switch, and repair or replace the control valve if necessary. Lastly, a worn or damaged pump might be the culprit, so repair or replace the pump.
