Toro TimeMaster Adjusting Trasmission Tensioning Cable

Quick tip on how to adjust the Toro TimeMaster transmission to make it move quicker and pull better up hills. Compare old TimeMaster mower adjustment to new mower adjustment.

You saved me a trip to the repair shop. Have not adjusted it in 2 years. It's like brand new.

[@sappington2]

This was awesome advice....you just saved me $200 by fixing it myself-thanks !!

Thanks so much for this video. She just came and told me it wouldn’t drive forward. This fix it.

[@Snausages32]

Thank you! This is exactly what I needed to fix/adjust! Works perfectly again!

[@cheaperthandirtvideos1]

Glad it helped!

[@normdichiara7836]

Thank you very much for the video, 30 second fix when I initially thought it might be the transmission!

[@joewisniewski7220]

Exactly! Same situation here. Was worried I might need a new Trans after hearing a lot of negative things about this transmission. 30 second fix and this baby is pulling like a horse 🐎 thank you for the video since I didn't know where this adjustment was.

Thank you - this made all the difference . Now just I need an adjustment to get me up the hill 😂

Much obliged! These counter intuitive things get me every time.

Great video! Thanks for sharing the details to help me out keep mine going in the 5th year of use!!! Love this mower, been a workhorse for me. But, it does need regular maintenance, new belts is a regular big headache...

[@Samuel_910]

Thanks for this !
Love my Timemaster , but it was beginning to struggle pulling the striping kit on any kind of incline.
Much appreciated!

[@DIOSpeedDemon]

Thank you very much. Mine came with too much slack and am going to tighten it like your video shows. Thank you so much for posting this. RH DSD

[@jimmyham1618]

Thank you for your help with these mowers, I just bought one and have mowed once, I’ll be upgrading the pully’s and tighten up belts now that I know how. “THANKS OLE’MAN”.

[@cheaperthandirtvideos1]

Cool!

Great how-to video. Thanks.

[@buzrock5711]

Thanks for this video. Now I know how to adjust the drive cable. I was doing the opposite.

[@fredrosenberg3421]

Thanks a bunch 🇨🇦

Informative videos.
Can't you transfer over the adjustment knob to.new mower or get a larger wing nut from hardware store so you can adjust in the field when needed?

[@toddg6263]

Be careful not to over tighten it because it is attached to the housing of the kill switch, which is thin plastic.

[@toddg6263]

Thx

[@cleancutslawncare]

How do you adjust rpm

[@conniewhite7978]

What if my left back wheel doesn't turn

[@peterwhite9546]

Whats the best way to change the oil?

[@davidboehlke1880]

Tip it on its side. 1000 mower and no drain bolt

[@georgeszucs2679]

@@davidboehlke1880 There is a drain plug on the underside of the engine. The bad thing is that it would be a total mess by opening the drain plug. No way to put something there to catch the oil while draining.

[@davidboehlke1880]

@@georgeszucs2679 I'll have to check my engine then. Kinda stupid they would make it so you can't put anything under it

[@georgeszucs2679]

@@davidboehlke1880 If you tip the rear of the mower up about half way, look up past the transmission towards the bottom of the engine. I think it takes a 3/8" or 1/2 " square drive by using an extension with a ratchet.
