1:10 - instead of taking off the rear drive wheels...raise them to the highest setting, then remove one of the bolts (to the plastic rear baffle/bagger assembly)...then lower the wheels to the lowest setting, to finally remove the last screw to the rear plastic baffle. It was UA-camrs like you that empowered me to fix rather than replace my 22 inch Toro Recycler. Just paying it forward thanks for sharing and what you do!
I just purchased the exact mower used and it hardly could move so I purchased a new Toro belt for it. This video had great step by step directions and illustrated just where everything is. I ran into the additional fun of having one of the motor mount bolts snapping g off (it is a 12 year old machine that appears to have spent some time out in the weather) After drilling that out, everything else went smoothly. One additional point is that the travel cable may need some adjustment where it bolts to the handle with the additional traction of a new drive belt
I have not had the fun of a broken engine bolt, lot's of left side engine mount bolts working loose. They sound like a noisy engine upon start up. Thanks for mentioning cable adjustment, will have to make a video on this. Appreciate your stopping by and long comment.
@@alsmith5714 stupid question, did you pull belt guard cover off and inspect what's binding underneath? Grass build up, does transmission rotate back and forth when engaging and disengage
great video, i just did this job on my neighbors Toro Personal Pace..she got half way done cutting her lawn and the belt came off the pulley near the transmission..i noticed when you were done with this job, the belt seemed to have some tension on it, hers seemed to be fairly loose and have a bit too much slack..not sure if that's what caused it too come off the pulley or not? any ideas? i took it apart and put the belt back on but i'm not confident it will stay on once she starts cutting the lawn again?
@@LazyGrandpasGarage hmmm, i've tried adjusting the cable but the slightest amount of tension causes the self propel to stay engaged? i'm wondering if the spring is worn? or possibly another issue?
Thank you for the step by step guide. I was able to replace my belt and mow the lawn today!
You're welcome, I'm always glad to hear my effort helped someone get the job done.

Thanks for information, I personally find it easier to remove wheels so you could remove any debris and inspect gears.

Good, clear directions. Thank you!
@@AllenBlackwood you're welcome, I truly appreciate when someone takes time out of their busy schedule to leave me a kind message of appreciation.
Thanks so much! Didn't have to stumble through the figurin' it out phase.
BTW 3/8" socket fit a bit better on the cover screws (than 10mm)
Thanks for stopping by and watching the video. Glad it helped you. Thanks for the heads up on 3/8" .
Rear wheel drive belt won't loosen to start it up, belt is tight all the time, all is ok up at the handle bar. ....thanks

Try adjusting the cable. Spring on cable keeps some tension on it.

Please next video say "da bears"

Very helpful!
Thanks for watching
I don’t understand why you took the wheels off
Easier to remove bolts holding underside cover into place.
What size belt? Any one have a link?
5:16 gives belt number. Verify with model number if correct for your application.
