Toro Walk-Behind Lawn Mower: front wheels always spin

Tue, 07 Apr 2026 11:18:44 -0700

I have a AWD model 20353 mower that I have had for about 10 years. I recently started having trouble with the drive on the front wheels. I have replaced the belt and the transmission assembly. After my repair, even with the front drive cable disconnected, both front wheels spin when the engine is running. Anyone out there have any ideas why this is happening. I am normally pretty good at mechanical problem solving but this one has me scratching my head. Thanks!!!

Lawn Mower: Mower won't start unless I put gas in the spark plug well

Sat, 14 Mar 2026 11:02:29 -0700

I have a Briggs and Stratton 4-cycle, OHV, self-propelled mower. It is several years old, we just got it from a friend. It worked the first few times we tried, then just woudn't start. I changed the spark plug and air filter. Still nothing. Then I pulled out the spark plug and put a little bit of gas in the well. It started and ran like a champ for an hour while I finished the lawn. I believe this is a carburetor problem, but don't know for sure and I am a novice repair guy who wants to learn how to do all this myself. What do I need to clean/fix/replace, and how do I do it?

Thanks so much.

Black And Decker Cordless Electric Mower MM2000 TYPE 1 2015: Lawnmower turns on immediately after plugging in MM2000 Black Decker

Mon, 09 Mar 2026 13:13:04 -0700

Once plugged in, lawnmower (Black and Decker MM2000 corded) will start itself and won’t stop until unplugged even when bail lever is up. When I separated the switch (https://www.ebay.com/itm/365473010435) from all wires and tested with multimeter, there is continuity between the screw where the black wire was screwed in and where the other terminal with the black wire and rubber insulator was before it was removed. Same with red to green. So both bottom and bottom / top to top have continuity. When the switch (which is normally connected to the bail lever) is pulled, the top to top aka red to green continuity is disrupted. The bottom to bottom aka black to black is not however. I am still learning about how all this stuff works so any ideas on next steps to figure out how come this lawnmower isn’t properly starting up safely would be helpful.

Lawn Mower: Replacing drive belt on 2015 T 1600 Craftsman variable speed mower

Tue, 24 Feb 2026 13:19:08 -0700

I'm replacing the drive belt on my 2015 Craftsman T1600 mower. The clearance between the rear drive pulley and the housing at the rear left corner under the battery compartment is about 3/16 in, not near enough to remove the old belt and install a new one. How can I loosen the pulley mounting enough to widen this gap?

Toro Lawn Mower 20363 2019: Lawnmower won't restart

Wed, 22 Oct 2025 22:55:40 -0700

Hello,

I have a Toro Flex-Force 60 Volt Model 20367 which looks remarkably similar to Toro Lawn Mower 20363 2019.

The problem I have is that when I drop in a freshly charged battery, close the safety lever to the handle, and push the blue start key, it starts up fine.

After use, I stop the mower by releasing the safety lever.

If I want to start it again, I can close the safety lever to the handle, but the lawnmower will not restart.

I have to remove the battery and drop it back in again.

Gets annoying to do this every time I wish to restart the lawnmower.

Does anyone have a solution to this problem?

Thanks.

K-Gro PowerPro Lawnmower: What belt to replace drive belt?

Mon, 20 Oct 2025 18:27:17 -0700

The belt that engages when the self-propel is on snapped, but I am having trouble finding a replacement for it. I used a tape measure to find that it is roughly 32 inches and about half an inch in width, but I am unsure if there is an OEM belt out there I can use. I had no luck in store and could only find online listings but I am unsure they will work.
