Thanks for the maintenance tips. This is my first year using the Timemaster. I was really struggling with cutting and bogging down using the mulcher if I went over 7 days. With the side chute, it left big clumps, but did not bog down. My solution was to have the front deck at the height I want the cut, and the rear deck higher. I get the closer cut with no bogging or clumps. Is there any drawback to doing that? Is that bad for the mower? Thanks in advance.

No it’s not bad for it. Another solution would be to open the flap with a bungee like I did. I did a video on that also on how to make a push mower ocdc.

It's not a bad idea to check the timing belt tension routinely. Toro put a spring washer (a rectangular washer) underneath the head of the tension adjusting bolt. They suggest tightening the tension adjusting bolt until you can just barely slip a thin piece of cardstock or a 0.010" feeler gauge between the spring washer and the mounting plate. And, it's not routine maintenance, but after losing the timing belt tension pulley, I replaced the timing belt tension pulley and idle pulley with the eXmark parts. (Part # 126-7890). Pricey, but when you figure out your downtime, and labor, you don't have to replace too many of the Toro pulleys to justify the exMark price.

@47f0

@@TheLawnFellas - That tension adjustment is only for the toothed blade timing belt tension. It has no effect on engaging the blade drive. The blade drive belt engagement pulley is adjusted just behind the toothed blade timing belt where the cable is held in place by a flat plate and bolt. Loosen that bolt and slide the cable housing to your left until you have just a little bit of slack in the cable, then retighten the bolt that holds the clamp plate. Be sure there is a slight amount of slack in the cable. If you slide the housing too far to the left and put that cable under tension the blades may still want to spin with he blade drive bail lever in the disengaged position, and the blade brake may not fully engage the pulley brake hub when the blade drive engagement bail lever is released. That's a bad thing.

@@TheLawnFellas thanks man, I literally found the video after I left the comment. Haha.. I’m on the fence about getting the mower to use on a few yards I do that require push mowing. They’re bigger fenced in yards.. probably take 45 min each with a 21.. I’m just afraid that the time master won’t hold up that long but it really would save me time. Would you recommend it?

I never understood why people take the wire of the plug, you couldn't spin the blade fast enough to start it! And even if that timemaster somehow started the blade wouldn't move because they need to be engaged! Mater of fact all mowers need to have the blades engaged manually so it would never happen.
@TheLawnFellas
Жыл бұрын
I absolutely agree with you with all mowers should have a manual blade engagement. I guess I take the plug out just for peace and mind for extra safety. I did another video also that is what every mower company should have on it also!! Thanks for watching appreciate the feedback 👍🏼
