FWD Toro Recycler Traction Cable Repair
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 14 เม.ย. 2016
- About 6 months ago, I had the traction cable (self-propelled cable) on my 2008 Toro Recycler snap while I was working, and after all the discomfort, and extra hassle I had to put up with the past couple months, I finally decided to break things down, and solve my problem. Here, check out how I did it.
Here's the cable you will need (part # 119-2379)

This part will work with any Toro lawnmower that's FWD.

U did a great job for a young fellow don't worry about the guy who made fun of your tools. You are going to be alright in life. I wonder what he was doing when he was your age, remember you are helping people and that's a good way to be
I'm a child of the 70's. Divorced parents, single mother trying to raise three sons. There was no such thing as a tool box. We had a small plastic bin hanging in the closet with a handful of actual "tools". Jake's video is a reminder of that time. Making-do with what was on hand with no parents around.
Thanks for this - I didn't need to replace the whole cable, just tighten it and nobody in their videos mentioned or showed that like you did - this helped me out a lot today, thanks a lot!
Hi Jake I just bought my used TORO Recycler a week ago the self-propel wasn't working so I replaced the belt still no go. Figured it must be the cable so watched your Tutorial now ready to head to the mower repair shop for the cable to install myself thanks to you. In Florida lawn mowing is a year round job no snow.
Thank you for posting this. My traction cable broke last week and I wanted to see how difficult it would be to replace it myself. You made it look easy so I am going to try it myself. Thanks again.
This is an amazing video. I am also 13 and me and my friend have a lawn care business. Only about 2 weeks til the season starts for us.
Thanks for the video, Jake. My traction cable broke and without your video I wouldn't have known how to replace it. Couldn't figure out how to get the black plastic cover off but your video showed all the steps.
Jake my man you are way ahead of your time and you
get it."Just got a new Toro
mower and had questions
and bam 😎
Thank's again.
Thank you for posting this. Exactly what we needed, especially at the hidden bolt stage! Congrats on a great posting.
Very good segment. I like that it's simple and even with some of the more common tools, the job can be completed. Well done.
Jake you are a natural, to add even more value to your repair videos consider helpful tips along your repair, like change a spark plug or replace a worn tension belt when doing this repair. Practical tips for the DIY mechanic. Nice job
Next time you go to do the nut that is hidden behind the shroud, try a 13 mm socket and a extension bar and you don't have to take the shroud off.
+Cheesebomb32 Thanks for the advice
Good job! You sure helped me! I have Toro that's about 16 years old and it's not thinking about quitting but my drive did quit working so I will see about putting in a new belt and adjusting it! Thanks!
Excellent video my man! 2 tips: Use Saran wrap on the gas intake and a paper towel over that and then screw the gas cap back on and you will never have a gas leak while working on the mower while on its side. The 2nd tip is the clean off all that stuff on the bottom of the mower while you have it over. You can use several solvents to loosen all that crap up. Otherwise, you taught me something today! Great Job!
Or put a garden hose on the blue spigot on top of the deck. That is what that is there for.
This video was invaluable to me. I could have done w/o the beginning of the video, but the technical part on how to replace the cable was great.
In my opinion the most important thing to know about replacing the traction cable is that the cable will appear as being too long when you first go to install it. My online research showed others thought they had too long of a cable as well. After checking a few websites and watching this video again, I realized that upper cable anchor (rubber piece attached to upper handle that cable goes through) tightens up the cable. Just be sure the coiled part of the cable (at the top of the black rubber cable housing) is in that anchor. After you insert the top of the cable, tighten the nut on the rubber cable anchor until you get the tension needed to engage the belt.
Hi Jake! Great video - very helpful. I replaced my cable in a snap thanks to your advice. Unfortunately, my problem appears to be the transmission, not the cable. Rats. Keep making great videos!
Great video Bro! you wrestling with that frame piece trying to yank it out was hilarious. You are becoming good with the technical mower stuff man, have you watched donyboy? he is the best small engine guy on TH-cam. Also, those "thick then thin" areas in the backyard - that's from the dogs. They pee closest to the bottom of the stairs in winter so they can run back inside quick. That's why it's mostly dark and thick green from the deck stairs and just around them. The further out into the lawn you get, there are some dark green spots but not as many - that's where Thor was venturing out further to pee. The pee acts like fertilizer and jumpstarts those areas early in the spring. If you put down some milorganite at full strenghth it should even the color out. But the front yard is your real challenge - there everyone walks on it. I am looking forward to your series on that!! Glad to see you back for the season!
Nice job young man. I'm impressed you tackled a job like this at your age. Keep on doing what you're doing and don't shy away from any job. If it's tough, take your time, analyze the problem. Think through it. Research (and Google it as well). You'll find a lot of satisfaction comes from fixing things yourself (and you'll know it's been done right!). Thanks for posting!
Your right, when I was his age, I took care of the lawn and mower. I learned a lot about small engine carburetors, worn wheels, cables, etc. I always remember usually my dad bought the cheapest mower he could find, and it seems they always needed repairs. And ever since then I have never taken a small mower to a shop...My riding mower has been to a neighborhood guy who fixes mowers. Especially changing the blades and some of the hidden grease fittings. (why do the manufacture always have one grease fitting the is way up under everything, and I can't just tip it over.)
Very helpful thanks my dude. Also on my mower to detatch the metal guard on the bottom. There are places on the side where you push in to release the catch. I still need a hammer though.
Good job, if I may be a little critical on one part is that you should never turn the mower on its side, it will pore everything into the carb, should lift the front so it rests on the rear handles. other than that great job youngster. keep on doing these videos they are very helpful.
Nice work Casey
10 mm socket will take off belt cover w/o taking metal bracket off
Awesome video Jake!!!! Keep it up. Lawn Care Nut Jr. in action. Great Job
Thank you!
Thanks for the video. You helped me fix my own!
thanks for posting this! it helped me a lot!
Hey, Jake. Welcome to the 2016 season. We aren't much farther ahead down here in Virginia. My first cut was about a week ago.
thank you
Great video. You helped me a lot. Thanks for sharing🙂
Excellent video 👍
thank you so much..... your demo is excellent!!!! thank you....
Nice work thanks 👍
Good video, kid. Don't worry about the crabs. My 2002 Toro cable and broke several years ago, In a pinch, took a .052 guitar string and tie it between the lever and broken cable, it's worked great for 3 summers now, lol. But I think it's time I just buy a new mower.
First cut was about a month and a half ago here in Washington! I enjoy your time-lapses and when you do montages of a lawn or two, looking forward to your upcoming videos Jake. Your toro seems to be blowing smoke, maybe seafoam it? I just got a Troy Bilt self propelled mower last season highly recommend it.
thank you so much, and yes, I do need to do some maintenence on it too!
+Jake The Lawn Kid hey but if it runs it cuts right? as a john deere guy I'll have to say, "its not how fast you now, its how well you now fast"
Nice job kid! Very informative
Great Video keep up the good work
Very good video. I replaced this part about the same time you did. Some tool advice:
1). Buy and use the best you can afford. It will some times last longer than the part being repaired.
2). Use the right tool for the job. Using incorrect tools ALWAYS ends with busted knuckles(or worse) or stripped or broken parts. it also saves time unless you have an engineering degree or the same brain power on your side (you may be in this latter category. My father was in it too. 30 + yrs Diesel mechanic who designed and created some of his own tools. Side note. Sorry don't mean to highjack this post. Father past march 2017 and I am trying to get those tools before my brothers. They are soooo cool!)
Oh yeah. CLEAN YOUR TOOLS AFTER YOU"RE DONE!!. You'll appreciate it when you need them in a bind!
Good job Jake!
+Kevin Dowe Thank you
after reviewing several how to's for the same repair; I thought you might like to know that the removal of that one piece that was the hardest of the entire process appears to be unnecessary. Save yourself time and possible damage when taking a hammer to something that doesnt need to be removed.
Also, should never turn the mower on its side because it will flood into the carb. should be turned up from the front to back.
nice video bro
Think I got it now...thank you....
Nice video
how do fix the other cable
Nice diy project!
+mmacejko929 Thank you
Nice Video, Do you have a maintenance routine that you follow for you lawn care equipment? For example how offend do you chance the oil or air filter ? Thanks.
+Tim Thornton (TimThornton1) I haven't worked out a maitnence schedule yet, but thanks for reminding me.
Nice!!! Dominating in 2016
oh yeah!!!!
That cute little bunny will eat your lawn down to the roots!

Jeremy Francis I'm 14, and thank you very much!

That rabbit thinks he owns your lawn, but then you came to the window and he was like OH NO THE MASTER IS HERE! Lol
+Flash Lawn Service Right? LOL

All purpose wrench is a .... "Adjustable Crescent Wrench"....
I'm in the same boat as you bro. Young kid tryin to start a business. Hope you can make it and sweet videos btw. I'll subscribe for sure.
Yeah, I've been in the business for about a year
and a half now, and now have about 5 clients, and I'm ready to keep growing!
+Jake The Lawn Kid I have about 7. But hope you can make it man
+David Joy thank you for the support!
great video ask for a socket set for your birthday
Already got one 🤙💯🔥
@@JakeTheLawnKid Awesome. I was going to buy you a kit if not. keep up the good work
If you don't like your toro I would highly recommend a Honda hrr216vya, but they are also $500 so you have to look at that. Are you going to get a bigger wagon this year for your lawn business? :)
I'll look into it, thank you!
+Jake The Lawn Kid yeah get a honda !!! Hrr or hrx!! They are the best
what editing software are you using

Hey young man those are not nails or bolts they're screws.
I cannot find any fire hazards in this video....
You didn't need to take the head off
I HATE TORO!!! I apologies for that outburst, but toro lawn mowers suck. I'd invest in a cheap socket set wenches are good but not in tight places and surprisingly most nuts and bolts are in tight hard to get at spots. good luck to you sir.
A hint: try getting proper tools. ie sockets. And maybe clean things off while you’re working on them? Good vid, could be better.
You are a turkey! You should do tutorials on “how not to do things”......
Think Lab why do you have to be mean man?
If you g0nna do a video clean the machine first and get better tools
