- WELCOME TO ANOTHER EPISODE OF PATTAY’S PERFORMANCE!
Today in the driveway is beloved Toro Time Master! I’ve had this Mower for 2 Years and this is the last piece of the PUZZLE TO MAKE IT PERFECT! To right all the WRONGS TORO has done! NOW it should problem FREE and PERFECT :)
I didn’t have to do this repair but it bothered me that the plastic bag is there…for over a year LOL!
I found a Pressure washer with the spin on cap and tank on a junk pressure washer and bell went off in my head! THANK GOD I WAS RIGHT or else it would have been waste of money and even a bigger waste to buy OEM Faulty POS Tank that would warp and leak again!
If you own a Timemaster Feel Free to share your experience as mine is pretty much documented on my channel.

HEY Y'ALL! i've updated the description via Ebay Affiliate Links. there are 2 Links. First one is for the new updated tank and cap this is prone to leak over again. Second Link is for the old tank that you can only source second hand! As of right now there are a few tanks for sale! Grab them before they are GONE!
A Danko #18 O-Ring fixes this leak issue. It is 1-3/16 OD x 15/16 ID x 1/8. The Danco part number is 96735. Don’t ask if it’s fuel resistant. The answer is probably “No”. I just keep and eye on it and change it if it needs it. 😂
@@SinnerSince1962 I rather keep my eye out for cheap tank…but once cry once 🤣
Fuel spills on my lawn I won’t be happy
Pattays Performance. Seriously, I do not understand why the engine manufacturers go for the “Gimmicky “ approach like never changing oil or like the quarter turn fuel cap that is quite lousy at best. The screw type gas cap has worked for many years now, So why change something that was working for everyone? And Yes, The metal fuel caps could be a pain. But with my Snapper 3.5hp,, Switching to the newer style Briggs & Stratton plastic cap solved the problem with trying to screw a metal cap onto a metal tank. I liked your replacement tank much better than the OEM tank.
For a while now, I have been entertaining the thought of purchasing one of the 30 inch cut Toro mowers like the one that you have. With your videos regarding your mower, It sure is nice to have “A Heads Up” on what is good and not so good and the best way to remedy the not so good situations. As always - My Very Best Regards To You & Mrs Pattay Performance.
P.S; I didn’t mention the “Never Change” oil debacle due to exhaling profanities in which CZcams would give me “30 Lashes” and cut out my tongue. So I say Arrgh!!! (LOL)
I did a video on a never change mower oil. It was in the infancy of my channel. A neighbor brought in a mower for a no start. Told him it needs a tune-up as well. Told me I need to catch up with the times as it’s never oil change lawn mower. A couple months later he dropped the mower off for a no start. Well...what do you think happens when you don’t change the oil...BOOM!
Videos on the Timemaster are few and far. Taryl did help me with pulley upgrade and blade timing 🤣🤣🤣. I’m just taking it further the. Him. He is busy guy 🤣
When manufacturers do things that blow your mind...think job security!
Pattay's Performance. I will have to find the video that you referenced. Of Course, We do live now in a throw away world - Use It,Abuse It & Throw It Away & Buy Another New One. Or as Henry from MowersNBlowers says “Doneski”. (LOL).

I think briggs and Stratton going bankrupt has something to do with it. They've probably been losing money for quite sometime. Their OHV engines are plastic out the wazoo, plastic carbs too on most.
I replaced mine with a 1 gallon tank and its so much better. Also replaced the front wheels with easy mow swivel wheels
I’ve seen the swivel wheels…tempting but I have had a few Hondas with the swivel wheels and it was just a creature of habit. I lift and turn 🤣
Got vids on the one gallon tank…I’m curious. Not needed but curious
Jason you and the misses have been called out for the 40 question challenge. See my vid for the questions. Be great to see you two do it together!!
I have the same mower with the same problem but I put a thick rubber gasket between the cap and tank and it works great.
Can you send me a photo via Instagram?
@@pattayperformance I don't do instagram.
@@gtzaskar6353 email me some photos please.
Hope you are having a great week! 🤙🏻🔧🦅🇺🇸
@@pattayperformance did you ever get the photos from this? If so, did you post them to Instagram?
Just bought a timemaster and did maintenance on it only to find it leaking fuel when I tilted it back. first thought was to custom fit a rubber gasket but just found this video. Keeping my eyes open for a second hand one just incase tho.
@@fishindudefrank3855 he never sent me anything
I have a Briggs & Stratton 675EX 190cc engine on my Snapper mower. I have a leaky gas cap as well. Where would I start to look for the part number for a replacement gas tank with threading? P.S. Love the shirt!!!
Thank you! It can only be purchased second hand as it’s a discontinued item unless it pops up on ebay or some place else as NOS. You need keep on eye out on Facebook Marketplace/ Craigslist and other sites for pieces of equipment for sale or FREE with that style tank on it.
Thanks for the view and comment, hopefully you subscribed to my channel 🇺🇸🔧🦅🤙🏻
Good luck!
My john derp walk behind has the same leaking problem
So sorry I missed this comment! SUCKS! These aren’t cheap machines! Did you rectify it yet? If so how?
Thanks for the view and comment, hopefully you subscribed to my channel 🇺🇸🦅🔧🤙🏻
I know this is an older video. I used your link and bought a used tank off eBay. You said you can find a screw on cap anywhere. Do you happen to know a model number for that common cap. Thanks
I’m still here, I don’t off hand but will get one for you later on in the day. Any small engine local shop should have one if you need it sooner
@@pattayperformance - thanks for the rapid reply. I swapped out the tanks yesterday and the leaking has stopped. The cap on the replacement tank is all gnarled up so I thought about replacing it
Found a used tank on ebay and my mower no longer leaks gas. Thanks!
YOU ARE THE MAN! Congrats on NEVER EVER HAVING TO WORRY ABOUT IT AGAIN!
Thanks for the view and comment, hopefully you subscribed to my channel 🦅🇺🇸🔧🤙🏻
Toro should offer a recall or at the very least a solution for owners experiencing this leaking TimeMaster Gas tank issue. I emailed Toro about the issue and they responded, "Thank you for contacting Toro. We do apologize that you`re machine is leaking. We would recommend seeking further advice from a local service dealer. They have authorized mechanics that may be able to provide tips to help you with repairs." Pattay, your solution is a good one provided someone can find an old tank, but quite frankly, you should not have to had find a solution yourself...we are talking about a safety issue with leaking gas after all. The TimeMaster is a $1,200 plus mower...reflects very poorly on Toro that they are not willing to send out a replacement solution to this problem.
My TWO biggest pet peeves about this mower is the gas tank and plastic pulleys. I guess they chalk it up as if you wanted top of the link should have went with a turf master! The new mowers in general come with the quick cap WHICH IS CRAP and non sufficient. I’m sure through ebay or local selling sites you ca get a piece of equipment with the part you need and never worry again.
Thanks for sharing your experience, view and comment. Hopefully you subscribed to my channel 🤙🏻🇺🇸🔧🦅
I have the toro 22" stowaway . When it's stowed the gas cap leaks fuel. Either need a new gas cap or gasket. Will try calling toro.
@@pirihern9329 What happened with this? I have the same mower and it's leaking gas. Is there a gasket or cap replacement for this issue? Thanks.
UPDATE: The TimeMaster is a $1600 plus mower, thanks to it's popularity. Toro never fails to take advantage of their successes.
love the shirt. defiantly need a new microphone!
Thank you! We have Definitely upgraded our sound! It’s a learned curve for sure!

You should check out my latest upload 😂😂😂
Luckily haven't had trouble with the cap leaking but every time I fill up I slosh gas everywhere cause you have no judgement when to stop pouring. Removing the foam will probly help. Main tank problem is it's WAY too small. Filling the oil is also problematic. Never get the right amount. I'll try to find something to measure in exactly 18oz. Like the shirt.
Sorry I missed this comment!
I use a paint measuring cup found at Home Depot!
Love the shirt too! Sad to see the current state of what we call home!
@@pattayperformance You will own nothing and you will like it. Their words and they mean it 100%. _They_ will own everything and _they_ will love it. My words. These clowns mean business they're on a schedule. Good luck friend.
@@pattayperformance Just changed the oil and measured in 18oz and it was way over. Nuts. Finally removed the sponge and much easier to fill holds more gas too. Should have long ago.
Many of these type of gas tanks are just missing a gasket on the lid. Even replacement caps come without it. No idea why. But that might be a fix so you dont have to replace the entire tank
This design pisses me off! I saw an opportunity and took it. I will never have to worry about crap design ever again! 🇺🇸🤙🏻🦅🔧
How can I get the gasket?
Good job Jason
Thanks Henry! Hope your having a great week! 🤙🏻🇺🇸🦅🔧
Actually the oem fuel filter is a paper element one just the smaller version, but I always use the red or the white screen filter it fits in there easier.
Thanks Uncle Rob! 🤙🏻🇺🇸🦅🔧
I loved your video but couldn’t find a used tank. I was able to fix the leaking cap problem by replacing the OEM o ring with one from a Menards store. It was a Danco brand 1 1/2 O.D. X 1 1/4 I.D. X 1/8
Thanks for sharing! It’s common that these tanks warp. Mine was 🤬
Thanks for the view and comment, hopefully you subscribed to my channel 🤙🏻🇺🇸🦅🔧
The toro is back that’s a great shirt bud
Red Mower Red Shirt #drip game on point 🤣🤙🏻🇺🇸🦅🔧
Whats the part number for the old style tank and what do they come on? Just checked mine I picked up. Im going to overhaul it this winter so its ready for work next season.
I’ve been rockin and wrenchin at work. Will get a part number and link for the tank. It’s going to direct you to the new 1/4 quick turn. These spin on ones you will have to get second hand.
Thank you.
Do you have a part number for the discontinued one? Or for the powerwasher it came off of?
catfishslayer100 this is the new updated one. This supersedes it.
@@catfishslayer100 check out the timemaster video as I updagted the description. I have 2 links one for new and one for old style off a the pressure washer. Try and buy them before they are sold since they are second hand only items.
Is the tank 1 gallon size?
Not sure! Have to Google that one
I love the TimeMaster, but there are a few quirks that just irritate the crap out of me. One of them is the gas cap leaking. I bought a new cap and it leaks just as badly. I believe the O-ring they supply with these caps is too small. Why in the world a screw on cap wasn't supplied is just startling. The second issue is the mower deck. It clogs up horribly bad if grass gets even slightly too high. I never had that trouble with my Honda. Of course, apples and oranges, I know. Thirdly... My blades need to be sharpened and I can't get the blades off, even with an impact. I believe they will shear off first. How in the world I'll get them off, I don't have a clue.
My 3/8' M12 Impact has zero issues take the blades off. Before I went Cordless, My Aircat 3/8" Gun would do the trick as well. Im in 11740 and can help with your blades.
Gas tank...it is what it is...
As far as the deck...I only experienced clogging on wet grass and I try my hardest to never cut it. I do let my grass get tall bc I grow KTF31 since its a taller grass it hold moisture. I have to wait a few days after heavy rain fall to cut. On days I cut I don't water the grass in the morning.
I had a Honda and hated it, for the quirks this machine has it is superior cut to the Honda Quadra System
Use a Danco 96735 o-ring. A 10 pack is $3.13. That should be good for 5 years+, just replace when it leaks. I sharpen my blades every start of season, Ryobi impact tool works. When mowing tall grass I just leave the shoot open with a bungee cord and it works perfectly, the side shoot attachment that comes with the machine clogs up..
@@sflgencoupe the only time I’ve had an issue with clogging is when the grass is really tall bc it traps moisture. Only happens when I Overseed and let it get tall before the first cut.
Great tip on the O-Ring but I had the Opportunity to permanently ditch the o-ring to a tried and true method. You would probably hear me scream from where I am to you if gas spilled and killed my grass while mowing 🤣
@@sflgencoupe I believe I stated this in another video’s comment section. I am the one who originally figured that O-Ring would work out.
Good fix. Mic sounds good but it picks up everything...keep the videos coming.
Thanks Uncle Ed! Hits my beard so instead of trimming the beard I’m gonna move the mic🤣
I know I'm late to the party but are there any tanks left? would rather buy a used one, cant stand this stupid tank cap that leaks all over. Also, mine runs for a for about 5min then stops, tried changing the ignition coil, but the stupid design has it laying across the engine fins and it melted! grrrr what is the right way to run it down to the spark plug? I saw yours is laying on the engine too, how does it not melt?
Used is the only way to go with these tanks as they are discontinued.
You can try a new oring till you find a “new tank”.
I don’t recall how the ignition coil is layered out but will double check for you.
Are you on Instagram?
Mic sounds good brother. Nice fix. Those "new and improved" quarter turn tanks are absolute junk.
Thank you! It ruffles in my beard 🤣🤣🤣
Yes they junk and a gimmick and it’s non sense that they don’t offer an alternative!
My TimeMaster has that same crappy tank design, gas cap keeps unscrewing itself and leaking every 10 seconds. I put a thin rubber pump flange gasket on the cap, now it locks tight and doesn’t come off until I take it off. What a stupid design, they should just admit they fu**ed up and go back to the threaded cap!
They should just have a recall on these! Unfortunately mine just leaked all the time. Pathetic part is...they discontinued this style. So they just want you pay $90 for a new tank. SHAM OF A SCAM!
Yea I’m panting my tires black
Feel Good, Look Good, Cut Good...YOU ARE GOOD! 🦅🇺🇸🤙🏻🔧
Does Mrs.Patty, Ever get on your Case and say dam, Let's get the Garage in Order?
All the time and WW3 broke out when someone on Mustie1’s channel asked if I could do a shop/garage tour.
I usually clean and organize every Saturday. Everyday I race home from work and try and turn wrenches till as late as I can do. Just time efficient to grab when I need cash unloading the garage. Every time! I
You watch taryl fixes all! my life is complete.
LOL! Only when it peaks my interest! He knows his stiff for sure!
@@pattayperformance I'm also curious about the fuel experiment. Can't wait to see which ones hold up
norge696, I run a duel treated fuel stabil in the jerry can. Seafoam in each tank per machine. I’m just a creature of habit. If seafoam is great Stabilizer I will cut out stabil and save me a few bucks.
What is your money on? Why?
@@pattayperformance Honestly no idea. I got into small engine repair a few years ago. Just started using seafoam in all fresh gas that I buy.
norge696 were are in the same boat! Still respect your opinion 🤙🏻🇺🇸🦅🔧. Thanks for sharing as always
Lovin that shirt, and it is a true statement.
🤙🏻🇺🇸🦅🔧 wish the guy around the corner from me could see the light as well as my neighbor across the street!
Fix your damn speaker! Audio sux!
