Great Resource
I started repairing mowers, pressure washers, and other small internal combustion gasoline engines as a side project. I find it very easy and rewarding. This website is a great resource. Thanks to all who share their information and experience here. -Mark
2-Stroke Toro Recycler BBC problems
Evening all,
Hoping for some help! Today was a a rather disappointing day. I've had my 2-stroke Toro sitting in the garage since I got the engine running. I took it out last week, added new gas mix and it fired right up. Drive system works and BBC would engage but in mildly thick grass the blade would slow to a stop. This is my first problem. What typically causes this?
I pulled the blade, shroud, and belt off. Belt looks...well I've seen worse. I'd like to get a new one but I'm not sure if the part numbers are correct since the mower has no ID tag. From what I could find researching this might be it:

The idler pulley seemed like the bearing was junk but after cleaning it it spins smooth again. However when I put it all back together and went to engage the system the bale had no resistance and while the drive kicked in the blade did not. After some trouble shooting I traced it down the the plastic bracket the cable mounts to in the bale assembly. Looks like I need a new one.
At least the piece had a part number on it.

Second problem I'll need help with is a sheered bolt. Went to remove the 2 bolts holding the drive cover down. One of them came out fine but the other sheered. There's about half an inch of the bolt sticking out of the deck. Any tips to get it out? I've already got it soaking with PB blaster.
Needless to say this day has been a bummer. I was really looking forward to using the Toro now that I have a mulch plug for it. :frown: If anyone has any advice I'd greatly appreciate it.
If nothing else its at least looking better. Not a full restoration but enough to make it presentable. Cleaned the handlebars and use Rust-oleum to touch up the deck. Got a late evening shot of it.

2005 Scag Turf Tiger 52" 27 hp Kohler Is buying used the way to go???
In the market for a zero turn and everywhere ive looked ive been referred to Scags for their quality and durability. Ive been dealing with a Cub Cadet LT1045 that has just over 400 hours and has been a nightmare basically since it was new. Im wondering if a Scag TT with a 27 Kohler is a good mower to buy used. Just over 300 hours which is very low for being almost 10 years old, with a price tag of $6500. It seems like a lot of money for a mower that age but with the low hours I think it should be worth it? It seems like a lot more people lean towards the Kawasaki engines but Im not sure why because both seem to have minor issues like anything else. Is there any reason I should avoid the Kohler Command Pro 27hp? Also, are the decks the same gauge steel as far as thickness goes between the 52 and 61 inch cuts in 2005? Thanks
