Thank you for watching!
Dang bro! I was just servicing my reel this evening. I did not know the fuel filter was reverse threaded. So thanks. My ONLY recommendation is to make sure you check the spark plug gap, even tho it’s new, to make sure it’s within spec. Like I have said before, you are a lawn boss. Totally appreciate the tips you always pull out in an effort to OWN IT!
Nice man! Nothing like some quality time servicing your machine! Great tip on the the spark plug gap, I find the bp4’s consist in there gapping but it’s always good to double check. I appreciate your support, I have a lot of content in store!
Agreed on the spark plug gap, but I’d also add a dab of anti-seize on the steel threads since it’s going into an aluminum head. Other than that, thanks for the video!
Great video, my friend! I just changed the oil and cleaned the carb on my Greensmaster and this was very helpful.
Thanks man!
You make it look so easy!
Smooth like ice and everything nice
Thanks for the info where did get the parts. I have a 2005 greensmaster 1000.

Its the Toro Sport lawn 18, some time in the 1960's. I've never purchased a reel mower with and engine, so I wanted to know what I should be looking out for before I pick this up on Saturday. Thanks Mate 👍
Wow from the 60’s? I thought mine from 89 was a dinosaur:/ send me some pics
There should be a small screen in that fuel filter too.
Good stuff. Never knew about greasing "zerks".
Thanks brian!, did you get a reel mower?!?!
@@PrincessCutLawnCare I finally did. Got it for $200 bc it wouldn't stay running. Brought it home, took off carb, sprayed w carb cleaner and it fires right up. New plug and air cleaner and it's running like a champ. Going to add a roller to front.
Awesome Vid. Just picked up a greensmaster flex 21 in Chicago and plan on tuning her up.
Hey mike! Are you the guy who finally bought the flex from Denise????? Ps I live in Chicago too!
@@PrincessCutLawnCare haha no. I did message her though. She said it was her dads, and he had sold it. I actually found it on OfferUp - I got crafty and searched for “green master” instead of “greensmaster” and sure enough 1 item popped up.
@@michaelanderson7618 lol small world man! Nice to connect w a fellow neighbor 😊 did you get a high height of cut for it??
@@PrincessCutLawnCare Yeah, I saw you're from Naperville. Western Springs here. I am honestly not sure yet. It looks like they might be higher, but I don't know for sure yet. I found some kits online. Ideally I would like to be able to cut up to 1 inch.
I think the highest the flex goes is like .3-.5 inches but you can buy the kit from r&r to make it go up to an inch. The GM in this video has a max height of a half in as well
Do you have a video on changing the drive belts and main belt on the toro greensmaster 1000.
That’s crazy , 30 year old machine. Looks new! I should probably do this to my John Deere which is probably about the same age 😂
These mowers run for ever man! Tune it up and your ready for a hot minute! This mower is 1 year older then me and it runs better then I do!
Good work man! I wish I had one to work on. A fellow Chicago native flaked on me last weekend on a JD 220A. It was suppose to be my Father’s Day gift :(
Thanks:) I know a kid w a 220a he’s trying to get rid of. Wait.. is the guys initials C.R.? If so, I could reach out to him for you
Princess Cut Lawn Care No not C.R. Ask him and let me know.
Ok add me on Facebook “suf abu”
Princess Cut Lawn Care Thanks!! Just sent it
Awesome accepted!
I'm getting ready to get into reel mowing. Should I buy a beginner's California Trimmer or McLane or immediately jump to the big guns with a Toro Greensmaster? Thank you!
Hi just wondering if you could do a video on how to operate the gm1000. i.e if you're able to adjust the walking speed without lowering the cutting speed
Hi sunny, ill add it to my list of videos for the season! thanks for the suggestion!
@@PrincessCutLawnCare no problems. I have just purchased my GM 1000 and I have no clue how to fine tune it... Lots of basic vids on RUclips about the GM 1000 but nothing that's intermediate if you know what I mean. Thanks for taking on the suggestion
You should get rubber zerk covers/bleeder screw caps, they are cheap on amazon. keep the gunk out.
Thanks for the tip, I’ll look into that
Hey, do you know how to adjust the slow idle on the beast?
Good videos pack with useful info! Thank you! Keep up the good work.... I Subscribed!
Much Appreciated:) Thanks for subscribing
Just returned the favor bud, i look forward to your content
After picking one of these 04050 models up for a 100$ im jealous your airfilter stays on 😂let alone having a recoil, and kick stand lol
Only 9 zerks? Lucky! Mine is a later model and it has at least 13. I can’t even hit a few of them with the style of grease pump you’re using. I had to get one with like a needle tip just so it could fit into tight spaces. On a side note, have you ever taken the reel off? I would love to see how to do that.
Oh man i thought 9 was annoying haha, i never took off the reel, but ive seen my buddy take them off to put new reels on after putting a relief on them. If i had the equipment to do it, my mower would be in a 100 pieces right now lol
George ! I need your advice
I got my hands on an old Toro Reel Mower, but i don't know how bad it is, I want to send you a pic of it to hear what your thoughts are on this .... let me know what you think
No Problem my email is princesscutlawn@gmail.com
@@PrincessCutLawnCare mint ! Ok check your email 📧
The title of this video states "John Deere Greensmower", but it only shows work done on a Toro. Is all of this equally applicable to a JD greensmower as well?
Please can you give links to the parts? Air filter, plug, oil gasket screw etc
What is your specific model?
Princess Cut Lawn Care model 04050 n serial 00442
Motor oil should not be put on the pre filter as it will clog the pores and limit the air flow aerosol is the correct solution
Can you prove this is older than 30 years?
Yes it is model 04050
