THANK YOU!!! Thank you!!! Thank you!!!! I have been trying for a year how to figure this out!!!! I have been stuck 3 times and had to drag it out with the wheels locked with my truck!!!
I just bought a new TimeCutter 42" from our local Tractor Supply. They could not get it to move. It normally sells for around $3000.00. Since they couldn't figure out what was wrong with it, they sold it to me for $500.00. They used a forklift to load it into the back of my truck. I brought it home and typed in 'I can't move my Toro' in my TH-cam search. This video came up. I immediately went out and tried this to see if that was the problem. Sure enough, it worked. Wow, that's all it was. Now I have a new mower for $500.00. Thank you, Tractor Supply, Main Street Mowers and TH-cam.
Whaaaat that's crazy man. Very good for you though. That's an unbelievable price for a new Timecutter. Congratulations! However, here'a an advice for future. You NEVER wanna buy at big box stores. Always go dealerships, regardless of the brand you're going for. The service, support and care you will kind at dealerships will almost ALWAYS be better than any big box store.
@@mikehoroho8453 That's understandable. They were probably thinking they're getting rid of a 'bad' machine and still making $500. Guess the jokes on them. Another reason we suggest to NEVER buy at big box stores ( your case being the exception 😉)
Thank you for putting these tips out, I found the hydraulic release but the break was still an issue. My dad passed away and I had no idea how to move it, hearing the break release was crucial to moving it (had a dead battery). Thank you so much
Did all of the above. Wheels wont move. I also do not hear the electric brake releasing. Is there a switch or sensor that may be bad and therefore not releasing the brake? If so where is it located?
Great video, I would like to see a video changing the brake module that keep the mower from starting. Glad to view your video, drug my mower over 50 yards and was hoping like hell nothing else tore up.
Here is another scenario happened to my motor: the mower can start but it can not move forward or backward. After stopping it, you can hear the electric system clicking, kind randomly😮. What I did is checking the manual “Releasing the electric brake” section, and manually rotating the “link arms” forward/backward a few times. Note you just rotate the arms. One side is okay. After a few tries, it started moving 😊
My 2020 timecutter, unlocks the brake when I turn the key to on, which throws it in a safety mode, and won't allow it to turnover and start. Brand new brake box too, is there a reset on these things? Brand new starter solenoid and ignition switch too, just realized I can hear the brakes unlock with the key on.
Make sure the handles are all the way out, when you turn the key on in park, it should set it to park, then it should crank. Sometimes something is obstructing the handles from coming all the way out
I had that problem as well! A hickory seed ball fell in behind the bar keeping me from putting it in park. Took me 15 minutes to figure it out. Taught me a lesson to go back to basics and check everything carefully.
If you lay down on the backside you’ll be able to see the break box has two rods that extend to the hydros, you can pull the break gear off the hydros and tie it up with a zip tie
You make fantastic videos! Just got the 54” coming next week. Is it true it you wash or hose off the entire machine you can fry the electronic brake or other electronics on the mower? Thanks!
The machines are basically waterproof, there are many of them down here in Florida that get rained on everyday. We also pressure wash the machines that are in for service. You’re fine to wash it, I would say less often is better just to avoid rust.
Yep, that seems like a huge oversight on their end. Even without my battery being off, the instructions on the back arent clear. You have to turn the key to disengage the Ebrake. So basically the prongs on the back are just for ease of pushing not a full proof method to push it without electricity.
I have a toro time cutter 4200 , it just clicks once but won't turn over. I found those levers for brakes and pulled em out and it started. turned it off and had same issue lever are still out. is there something like an actuator that they connect to that coulkd be bad? I hear the motor that actuates when moving to park or handles in. even though it is actuating could it be bad still?
You likely have either have a valve timing issue, failing fuel shut off solenoid or bad fuel. Backfiring is caused by unburnt fuel in the muffler any of these conditions can cause this, see a dealer for help
our lawn mower is so messed up after our neighbor kept fighting the controls trying to stop from sliding down a hill. the blades don't work because the neighbor ran over the floor mat that fell off. at this point i would send the mower out for repair and kindly ask the neighbor to pay for the repairs, but it's my dad's mower. from what i can gather fighting the controls really messed something up. a new brake module didn't solve the problem, so i wonder if the controls or transmission somehow got damaged from the neighbor trying to keep the mower from sliding down the hill. i am just guessing here and i could be totally wrong.
I don’t think fighting a hill would have damaged your hydros, but who knows. I would get that mower to a good mechanic/dealer I’m sure whatever it is can be solved.
@@mainstreetmower yeah no one knows what happened. i'll try to convince my dad to take it to a repair shop. . it's like the wheels are locked or something.
That Hydro is sealed and doesn’t require a hydro change, you don’t have to touch it. They are bullet proof and will literally be the last component on that machine to fail.
The method is similar. There isn’t an electric brake so no need to turn the key on, just drop the brake and unload the hydros. The hydro release lever looks similar and is located in between the front on the rear wheels and the back of the deck

We're glad we could help Keith. Have a great Mow!
😂
Great video. Just used my truck to get my mower to the garage. Just did the hydraulic release correctly and it rolls with ease. Thanks
Awesome. I'm glad the video was useful to you. Thanks for watching 🙂
Great video that a lady with new zero turn mower can complete
Glad we could help Rene. Thank you for sharing.

@mainstreetmower right place right time.
They did stipulate that it was a 'no return' for that price. @mainstreetmower

We're glad you figured it out though. 🙂
I was going to ask if you can push it backwards but you answered my question when you pulled it backwards. Thanks.
Haha awesome. We're glad this helped.
Super helpful vid. Thanks!
Glad it helped ☺
A BIG Oklahoma Thank YOU!. I had forgot about the part of bringing the control arms together.
Hahaha gald you figured it out. Greetings from Florida :)
only problem is the brakes wont release if the battery is dead!
he failed to mention that it is difficult to push if tires are flat or missing either
You’re the man!
No, you're the man Richie! 🙌
Thank you for sharing
Hope it helped 🙂
Thank you. Very halpful!
Glad it was helpful!
yeh but how do you push it if the battery is dead? noone ever shows that..help!! lol
You just need to have enough 'juice' to release the electric brake. Jumper cables.
Thank you. It worked! 😊
Awesome. Enjoy the mow!
So useful
Thanks a lot

You are welcome. 😀

Yea I figured it out. I had put a new wiring harness on and put that connector on backwards
@@keenanwingo2250 Great, we're glad.
What if the battery is DEAD? It's in a connex box and can't easily get to battery to replace or jump

How to remove The engine pulley from a Toro timcutter 2016model
You make fantastic videos! Just got the 54” coming next week. Is it true it you wash or hose off the entire machine you can fry the electronic brake or other electronics on the mower? Thanks!

Why a toro zero turn model 74376 dies when taking pulling the handles in out of park?
Sounds like your seat switch is bad
How do I free up brakes that are frozen in locked position?
I did that and my mower won’t start now what can I do?
If you don't have any electricity you can't bypass the break to push it.
Yep, that seems like a huge oversight on their end. Even without my battery being off, the instructions on the back arent clear. You have to turn the key to disengage the Ebrake. So basically the prongs on the back are just for ease of pushing not a full proof method to push it without electricity.
What about a Toro Bronco? I don't see a handle in the back of the mower to disengage the hydrolics. Do you have any idea how to disengage that one?
Sounds like it’s a Troy-Bilt Bronco. I don’t know for sure but probably the same idea
Just turning the key part way as you described in the video worked for our Troy Bilt riding mower. Thanks for the video!
I have a toro time cutter 4200 , it just clicks once but won't turn over. I found those levers for brakes and pulled em out and it started. turned it off and had same issue lever are still out. is there something like an actuator that they connect to that coulkd be bad? I hear the motor that actuates when moving to park or handles in. even though it is actuating could it be bad still?
Sounds like your solenoid is bad
I have a husquvsrna 46 in cut when I crank the motor ant push both handles forward it won’t go what can I check to find the oroblem
Does anyone know where the hydraulic drive releases are located on the Groundsmaster 7200?
I got my new riding mower to start, but It don't move forward nor reverse when I use my handles to move them? Can You please help?
Model# 44N6770066G1
My Toro TIME CUTTER backfires when starting and sometimes when I shut it down. How do I fix this? PLEASE. THANK YOU.

On a toro 74726/402244713 time cutter what is the procedure for changing the hydro fluid
That Hydro is sealed and doesn’t require a hydro change, you don’t have to touch it. They are bullet proof and will literally be the last component on that machine to fail.
Is this the same method for a grandstand ?
The method is similar. There isn’t an electric brake so no need to turn the key on, just drop the brake and unload the hydros. The hydro release lever looks similar and is located in between the front on the rear wheels and the back of the deck
My toro4225 engine dies when control arms are engaged I replaced both safety sw. under the control arms
The seat switch is bad
