Why won't my Toro TimeCutter Z17-44 Lawn Mower engine start?
- B
  Barry McguireAug 18, 2025
  If your Toro Lawn Mower engine won't start, starts with difficulty, or stops running, possible causes include an empty fuel tank (fill it), a closed fuel valve (open it), or the choke not being on (move the choke lever to On). Other potential issues are a dirty air cleaner (clean or replace it), a loose or disconnected spark plug wire (install the wire on the spark plug), a faulty spark plug (install a new one), dirt in the fuel filter (replace it), contaminated fuel (contact a service dealer), incorrect fuel (drain and replace it), or low oil level (add oil).

- J
  James WilkinsAug 21, 2025
  If your Toro Lawn Mower doesn't drive or track straight, start by checking the tire inflation; inflate to the recommended pressure and ensure tire diameters are approximately equal from side to side. Also, a bent, loose, or misaligned control linkage could be the culprit; repair, adjust, or replace the vehicle linkage. Finally, examine the bypass linkage and adjust it as necessary.

  If your Toro Lawn Mower engine overheats, it could be due to several reasons. You might be overloading the engine, so try reducing your ground speed. Check the oil level and add oil if it's low. Make sure the cooling fins and air passages are clear of obstructions. Also, inspect the air cleaner and clean or replace it if necessary. If you suspect contaminated fuel, it's best to contact an Authorized Service Dealer.

Why does my Toro TimeCutter Z17-44 have an uneven cutting height?
- A
  arthur36Aug 30, 2025
  If your Toro Lawn Mower has an uneven cutting height, sharpen the blades if they are dull, or replace them if bent. Ensure the mower is level from side to side and front to rear. Adjust the anti-scalp wheel height if it's not set correctly. Clean the underside of the mower if it's dirty, and adjust the tire pressure if it's incorrect. If a blade spindle is bent, contact an Authorized Service Dealer.

What causes the blades to not rotate on my Toro TimeCutter Z17-44?
- M
  Mrs. Melanie GonzalezSep 1, 2025
  If the blades on your Toro Lawn Mower do not rotate, it could be due to a worn, loose, or broken drive belt (install a new one). Alternatively, the drive belt might be off the pulley (reinstall it, checking the adjusting shafts and belt guides). Another possibility is a worn, loose, or broken mower belt (install a new one).

  If your Toro Lawn Mower has abnormal vibration, make sure the engine mounting bolts are tightened. Check the engine pulley, idler pulley, and blade pulley, and tighten any that are loose.

What to do if Toro TimeCutter Z17-44 Lawn Mower starter does not crank?
- A
  Andrew ManningSep 8, 2025
  If the starter on your Toro Lawn Mower isn't cranking, ensure the blade control (PTO) is disengaged, the parking brake is set, and you are sitting on the seat. Check the battery; if it's dead, charge it. Also, inspect the electrical connections for corrosion or looseness, and replace any blown fuses. If a relay or switch is damaged, contact an Authorized Service Dealer.

Why is my Toro TimeCutter Z17-44 Lawn Mower so noisy?
- Y
  yleeSep 12, 2025
  There are several reasons why your Toro Lawn Mower might be noisy. It could be due to a low oil level or contaminated oil, in which case you should fill it to the proper level or change the oil. Excessive loading can also cause noise, so reduce the vehicle loading. An incorrect brake setting might be the issue, so adjust the brake to the proper setting. Loose parts can also generate noise, and they should be repaired or replaced. A sticking bypass assembly can contribute to the noise, requiring repair or replacement of the valve or linkage. Finally, air trapped in the hydraulic system can also cause noise, so consider purging the hydraulic system.
