Will It Run? | Toro Super Recycler (6.5hp B&S Engine) | Fuel Sitting in Carb | Recoil Start Broken
Today we take a look at a Toro Super Recycler self-propelled mower off of Facebook Marketplace. This mower features a 6.5hp Briggs & Stratton Engine and Toro's Personal Pace self-propel system. Overall the mower looks clean and just shows regular use, but our pull rope seems to lack travel, and the previous owner said that it "ran when parked" a few years ago.
Hopefully a quick carb clean and new recoil pull-start rope will solve our problems, and make for a nice flip in the spring!

    Do you think it REALLY cuts down on your total time out clearing the drive with a snowblower? I mean if you have to attach and then unattach that blade rig every time it snows (assuming this is also your commuter vehicle), then I don't know if this would be worth it. I have a 2021 Z71 that I bought this past year and was considering a light blade for it (live in the midwest, harsh winters, decent amount of snow) but I really don't need it for my house or my neighbors because I already blade with my John Deere select series lawn mower and it works great. I'd really want a blade to go blade out around town for my various friends and family members. I don't think I'm going to get one but was half curious if anyone had done any blading with their z71. I will say the thought of blading in a warm cab with my steering wheel and heated seats sounds so much nicer then being bundled up on the John Deere freezing my face off lol. Thanks for the video!

    DIAGNOSTIC PRO TIP: Wrap 5 turns around a round metal bar 1/4" diameter, 1 inch long. Wrap that with duct tape to keep wire on the bar, and not unwinding like the Graz attempt. Zip tie it to a spark plug wire and start your engine. When done adjusting engine RPM, cut zip ties and move to the other cylinder, if necessary. You have just created an inductive bar. It steals the pulse from the plug wire, and applies it to your metal bar, where the device accurately detects and registers it. I cannot tell you the device is accurate, but you just removed a lot of the variables. -- The Great Nicolas Tesla revealed these secrets 100 years ago. -- North Central Florida -- 9.10.2023

    It was great to see someone install the front receiver hitch. Not many trucks have this -- good place to mount a winch for very occasional use. I am thinking of doing the same thing. Do you think it is possible to re-install the factory air dam using some surgery on the plastic part? The air dam improves mpg and cooling so I would like to have it back on.

    • @GrazGarage
      @GrazGarage Před 10 měsíci

      I’ve heard of others that made a cutout on the air dam and reinstalled it. It’s been awhile since I’ve installed this one so I don’t remember 100% if any of the clips/screws on the dam interfere with the receiver. I’m sure it can be done though with a little creativity. I’d be curious to see how much of a cooling and MPG benefit the dam offers. (I haven’t noticed much of a difference running without it)

    I thought I'd give some feedback on mine I bought a year ago. I have 2003 Dodge Dakota extended cab 4x4 with 4.7 V8. I've owned it for years and it only has 100,000kms. Frame is mint and its been babied all its life except for my hunting trips. I ordered the Dakota kit for it and this exact plow. I was concerned I was too light as I have 1800 feet of gravel driveway. I've used my TYM 293 tractor for years with front blower and back blade. That thing is a beast. Heated cab etc. It'll take on any storm no problem. But I wanted something to do the quick hits with 6 inches or less for speed. I had 300lbs of salt bags centered over the back wheels and that made a HUGE Difference in steerability. Do it. I put a set of Timbrens on the front and that was huge!! The plow never affected the front height at all. I had to re-do the front end this spring but it's a 20 year old truck that needed it anyway. So next year it'll be fully ready. I have to say this thing worked perfectly except for the markers. Pure crap. I'll figure out something for those this summer. I didn't use the shoes as I don't use anything with my tractors either so I just went to ground. In 4x4 I used 2nd gear and simply drove to push snow I never went above 20kph - didn;t need to except for one slight hill I have to climb. These things work superbly if you accept what they are. I see alot of guys beat the living crap of these blades then complain. STOP! They are homesteader blades. Nothing more. 1800 feet of driveway 12 storms - never turned the tractor on once and had 4 storms of 2 feet or more. NO problem as I plowed with the storm going out in the middle of them and keeping it under a foot. For you property these things work great. I would have two things as spares though. The wireless control wiring kit and a an extra pulley motor. I see these as the most breakable on these plows. All in all they are steal imho when full plows in my area are 10K plus installed.

    Bring the shoes up a bit ( clearance should be very little ) mark your driveway , it’s illegal to plow across a road in many areas so plan a spot to push your snow and hold or you’ll run out of space , a good spot is in the back yard but a straight push is definitely better also I start at the road working towards the house and if you want clean edges use your snowblower after plowing . Angle plowing is a bit more complicated, plan your pushes ! I removed my shoes because I have a concrete driveway and it cleans really nice without last but not least I only plow if there’s more then 2” ! I’m in Minnesota so we do get our share of the white flakes from hell ! Lol
