    Excellent video. I had the grinding, had a local shop prep for summer and work on grinding last year. They tested on the pavement and thought it was fixed. It grinded in the grass. Had it back twice to adjust the tire mount to straighten. This year it is real bad again. I found the bearings at a local small engine shop and ordered the rest. Fix went real fast like in the video and I was noise free in about a half hour. Mower is about 10 years old and starts in one pull and drives silently. Thank you.

    I had simply replaced the rear plastic gear'd wheels and shimmed and in less than a full season the grinding was worth than ever. I used the parts and followed the steps outlined in this video and it all went smoothly. I actually moved the newer plastic gear'd wheels to the front of the mower as the front wheels were getting a wobble. Seems to be working like a brand new mower now! Thanks for the post!

    I generally strip out every usable part from every scrap lawn mower I get thats junk. I agree the metal gears are better. The plastic geared wheels do not mesh up with the plastic drive wheels eather. I have replaced many worn out wheels by simply buying new front wheels and carefully prying the metal pins from the metal gears on the worn wheels. It is cheaper buying the wheels and reusing the old gears and pins. Last year I fixed 20 recycler mowers and they still run great.

    Good video man!! Not sure which model Toro you have but I just sold the 20332 model and the bearing was
    Genuine OEM Toro Part# 108-9779 Retainer Bushing, Ball Bearing, & Sleeve Bushing. $15 bucks on ebay.
    All you had to do was bolt it into the level adjuster. It was a one part bearing and bolt. You could us an adjustable wrench or locking pliers and remove the entire bearting bolt. It is one thing. Just rest the back on a jack stand. That part you are hitting with your hammer and screwdriver is one unit and all you needed was an adjustable or locking pliers to remover the nut. You took out the bearings and left the nut.

    Thanks. It helps me understand more about how it works. I bought a new 60Volt Recycler, in the box, last year and was disappointed that it was one wheel drive, or so I thought until I looked under it a couple days ago. Left wheel spins freely. Shaft doesn't move. Sound like one of the gears isn't there. I'm going to pull the wheel and if that drive gear isn't there, Grrrr!

    My Dad's 2009 Toro 20333 mower has chewed up the plastic gear on the right side twice. His bearings are probably worn, but I am going to attempt to shim the wheel mount/heigh adjustment bracket. I have read that often times they are out of alignment which causes the gear in the wheel to not mesh properly with the gear on the axle.
    He is also very hard on his rear wheels, as he has also gone through two sets of wheels where the black tire-like material has worn all the way down to the white plastic wheel. I don't know what in the hell he does to his mower for having a smaller town home yard that you wouldn't think of as being traditionally hard on a lawn mower.

  • @marklenz3420
    @marklenz3420 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Tried this on my Toro 20332, however the new pinion doesn't mesh with the wheel's metal gear. The metal gear on the wheel is further outboard and thinner, so the wheel spins freely without meshing with the pinion.

    Hi,great video.I found a lot cheaper method to fix the problem with the toro personal pace.I bought a set of plastic gears"by themselves"off ebay for 10.00 shipped.I replaced both bearings,plastic bushings and stepped washers.I fixed my toro for 21.00 total.I used toro parts as well except for the gears.The personal pace is like new.NO GRINDING OR locking up as you roll it back.There is no play whatsoever .Its tight.I drilled the old gears out on the wheels,used a soldering iron and a pair of pliers to pull the pins out.I used a flat head screwdriver,hammer and super glue to put the pins back in.I hope this helps someone because 18 to 25 a wheel or the toro updated kit for nearly a 76.00 is freakin aweful.

  • @Kenneth_James
    @Kenneth_James 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    engineered obsolescence. I just threw new gears on with the little idk friction clutch things. You know the little pinion one. It works better than ever and is responsive again but all the suddenly a few months later the rear wheels don't want to let me back the mower up. Any ideas? And then the fuel tank sprung a leak . It's a 20076. 16 years isn't bad. It's still better than plastic gears.

    • @wrenfan
      @wrenfan 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Plastic gear was not the problem. Wheel height adjuster was the problem. Did not replace any axle parts. Mower is 15 years old and still works fine. However, it was a very inexpensive fix therefore it is probably not a popular one. th-cam.com/video/RVK_po7BRZs/w-d-xo.html

  • @oldtimedrumcorps

    The deck metal flexes when under stress especially on slope terrain at the height adjuster which causes the misalignment of the gears .

    does that bearing retainer need replaced... you didn't do it maybe yours were in good condition.I can see that pinion and gear alignment being affected by bearing hmmm?
    if the retainer only supports the bearing and that aspect is fine then it shouldn't need replaced.

      Unless they are really rusty or were somehow damaged the only reason I would replace one is if I couldn't get the bearing out. They're just a hunk of steel to hold the bearing in and the adjuster together. Not alot to go wrong.

    Great video, it was the answer I was looking for; " is there a retrofit to replace plastic with metal?" I'm glad you mentioned using a 20mm socket to set the bearing in the bearing retainer. Other sites recommend "tapping it in using a hammer" (which increases a chance of breaking the grease seal on the bearing) .... One question; wouldn't it be a bit "easier" to replace the bearing retainer with the bearing and bushing instead of having to remove the side plate, etc. ? I know it may cost more, but all is replaced and in less time, and all parts, including the bushings. Again, great video.

    • @mjrxyz
      @mjrxyz ปีที่แล้ว

      It's not that easy to remove the bearing retainer...I needed a 1 1/4" socket with a breaker bar and pipe for added leverage after securing side plate in a vise; but what you say is the proper way to repair this problem rather than shimming or bending to temporarily realign the wheels. A new bearing retainer (108-9779) with the bearing (104-8699) and plastic bushing sleeve (108-9782) pressed in before even starting will make the job go smoothly.
