    Any info on what plugs, belts , blades to stick to get going? I’m doing a mobile blade sharpening and get a lot of requests for tune up which I can do ( doing at my house for drop offs and neighbors) but don’t carry any stock. Not all homeowners know how to find motor number or model type. Excellent video. Thank you.

      We work closely with distributors so you can drive the price down. Medart, Power Distributors and Oscar Wilson will cover 99% of what you need to order. They have minimum orders for free shipping but almost always next day delivery depending on when you order. We only stock stuff we sell a lot of, mostly MTD stuff and blades for almost everything

      Stuck float in the carburetor is a likely cause. Bad fuel or moisture in the fuel will cause it to smell rich sometimes also

      Difficult. Most do not have a drain port and no access to refill if they do. Pull the hydros to do the oil change. There is a service manual at www.hydro-gear.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/BLN-52622_2100_2200_P13.pdf

      Go to www.toro.com/en/parts/partdetails?id=53158&iid=462404&pid=511604 and you can see the diagram for the deck lift. If you look at part number 6 it is a bracket with different holes in it. To raise the side that is low install that side in a hole that holed the deck up higher than it currently is. Thanks for watching!

      @Mason-RRC Месяц назад

      @azimmey you need to slow down the right hydro by taking a wrench and tightening the nut a couple of turns. Run it on level smooth surface like a garage floor. You may have to adjust it and try it a few times until you get it tracking straight. The nut I’m talking about is right behind and above the rear tires.

      The service manual says "Fill the ZT-2100 and ZT-2200 (EZT ®) so the oil level is .75”-1.50” (19-38 mm) below the oil fill port" That is hard to do if you cannot see the top of the fill port but if you can get it in there this was get it done otherwise the hydro will have to be pulled to fix the leak and refill
