My friend and I are wanting to turn my old toro lawn mower into a racing one.... But i do not know where th governor is... if you can explain where it is that would be nice.... my engine is a 8hp briggs and station pull start.... thx
The governor may be internal. Look at the carb. If the governor is external it will be on the carb and easy to see. Maybe try this site and let me know.

I got this old toro turf pro riding lawn mower I am needing parts for but I can't fine the model number or the serial number. Does anyone know where to look for this info on a mower at?
I have already look under the seat, but the sticker there is faded out and I can't read anything from it. I need to know if these numbers are put anywhere else on the thing.
Try under the seat.

We purchased a used older riding lawn mower by Toro we have transmission information like patent number but we have no other information on it and do know it has 6 speed and does not work in reverse. We would like to know how much fluid is needed and what kind to use.
The transmission is a Peerless Gear Drive I believe and the patent number is 3812735 and it also has the following number or code on it too ( RE32125). And the engine is Brigs & Stratton Model # 193707, Type # 0152-01 and Code # 86121009. Any information would be greatly appreciated and helpful. Thank You in advance for any help with this question.
We have tried to go to the Toro site and related sites but can't seem to locate the information we are looking for. We can find manuals but have to purchase them and currently can't afford to get one. We even called several local areas that are supposed to deal with repairs on the lawn mowers and can't get a straight answer to our questions.
I have a few links for you, but it is the first three that may have the information that you need.
If you gave a series number I could have reduced down some of the links, I have a open contact on my profile page just e-mail if these do not help or if you there are other manuals you need.
Other wise take your time to read through and recheck before you start cranking those nuts.

Tecumseh Techs Handbook- On page 7 (chart 2) is the lubrication also check page 8 for identifying your tranny by sight and series numbers. I think this manual is going to be your best bet.

Tecumseh-troubleshooting - this is almost a repeat of information from above but it has simple trouble shooting charts.
http://www.box.net/shared/ggd304uxsf
Briggs and Stratton (model series 193700 to 193799) - Just in case your having trouble with that engine (it should be specif to your engine model) this ought to give you some insight.
These last three are blow up diagrams for a few different models as I said if these do not cover it contact me and I'll see what else is in my maintenance files.
Please understand that these are important to me I do not mind if they get downloaded but I usually will pull sharing rights after 48 hrs so if you find information that you need download it or contact me direct after sharing is closed .

My 7-year-old Toro self-propelled lawn mower's cord is off so the self-propelled part doesn't work, the engine will no longer start (it wasn't fully engaged last time I used it... it was running slow and loud with a lot of smoke and used a lot of gasoline). The last time I got my mower serviced it was over $100. The newer model Toro is $350-$400.
At this point should I just buy a new one with all those problems?
7 Years for a mower is great.
It sounds like it is time for a new mower.
If you buy the new mower will you get 7 Years out of it? That is hard to tell.

Ariens WAW 1034 - LawnSite.com™ - Lawn Care amp; Landscaping Business ...
Do any of you have any experience with the Ariens Wide Area Walk 1034 mower? It looks pretty solid and the dealer says it's in the entry level commerical / top end consumer range, that is: it's built pretty solid. I'm also looking at the Exmark Metro 26. As much as I've read bad stuff about them, I've also read good stuff about there more recent stuff. I was looking at a lawn tractor and ZTR as well, but with the cutting I'm doing, a rider would probably be less usefull to me. I have a condo and 2 townhomes so it's longer strips of lawns with some yards and hills I need to scale across. I do have some residential clients but I use my 21" Toro for those.
Taking Care of Your Toro Lawn Mower | Toro Lawn Mower Parts
Most people hate getting their hands dirty with mowing. Admit it, you aren’t happy pushing a weighty machine over tall grasses, right? However, it is a job that must be done.
One day while mowing the lawn, I experienced an excruciating pain on my back, while sweat covered every part of my body. At the same time, I had to fight with my sanity and just had to give up.
My cousin then blurted out: “Wait, have you ever tried a Toro lawn mower?” He then added that the Toro engine uses its patented GTS (Guaranteed to start) system and guarantees to start with one or two pulls of the recoil starter. I double checked if I was really speaking to my cousin or if this was a salesman pretending to be my cousin. He then gave me bits and pieces of his successful relationship with the Toro lawn mower. Oh my, he sounded like he was about to marry a mower!
