  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.

  Andrea JohnsAug 22, 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.
