- Today I show what I did to get my new "old" Toro Greensmaster 1000 to work. These machines are built like tanks and cut great so it's easy to see why everyone loves them.
Great video. You said what you said 🤙🏻
Thanks Papa, yes I did 👊
Hi BB I have Greensmaster 800 how can I slow down the speed, too fast in the slow gear. Do I need to change the throttle cable? ?
Yeah man I had the same issue. I adjusted the low idle screw and throttle cable down under the gas tank area. You want the throttle itself (near handle bar) to have a nice range of motion when moving it from low to high rpm. It might take some fiddling around or I know it took me a while to find the sweet spot. I didn't need a new cable though.
man those thing are MINT, nice job fixin em up!
Thanks George yeah they are pretty sweet!!! I watched your tune up video as well which was very helpful, I always enjoy your content. Keep crushing it man!!
You got this Boss. Taking over the title lol. Nice find and work with the 1000's
Thanks so much striperman 🙌 💯. I really love the gm 1000s, I may have to keep one 😁
How much for one? I am currently using a 25” McLane and looking to move up to a Toro.
Are you located in North GA?
@@BermudaBoss North Alabama but willing to travel.
@@loydpotter6901 can you email me bermudagrassboss@gmail.com
@@BermudaBoss done
@Bermuda Boss
I sent you an email. Please let me know your thoughts.
I hear you BIg Tyler... You are indeed The Boss
You da boss now, can't wait to see what the GM can do for you!
Doc??? Never heard of her….🤷😁😎😜
🤣👍😁
How do you find used toro greensmasters? I’m in the market…
Got a link to the carb you used? Mine is pulsing a bit, but overall pretty good
Man I would prob just try to clean it. The one I got was on Amazon but says no longer available. I'd just order several if you have to and surely one will be decent then return the others. The oem carbs are expensive on those models.
@@BermudaBoss Does the bottom bowl come off of the OEM one? Every carb I've ever had, that bowl came off, but this one looks like it's stuck in there for good. May be designed that way and I don't wanna break it
I haven't had those in over 1 year so I can't go look to check for ya sorry. Maybe try running some seafoam or marvel mystery oil that might clear it up as well. Good stuff
I just want to say thank you I did what you did with a ryan greensair core areator i bought salvaged. Also had to replace the fuel line and I got it running. I promise you I was screaming lol 😆 with joy 😊
That's awesome! It's a great feeling isn't it??!
Que motor puedo instalar el motor se daño y no consigo el original cuál serviria
Kawasaki fe120
@@BermudaBoss no lo consigo
@@LuisGonzalez-bi9px ahh i see. You would need something with shaft that spins counter clockwise. I have not done a full engine swap on those models before.
I just bought a non working one from the auction. I'll be doing your steps thanks
Nice! They are great mowers
Hey man I'm working on one of our toro greens master 1000 at work and it needs a carburetor. FG150 motor, where you getting the carburetor at?
Morning man just off Amazon, I ordered several, some were better than others
@@BermudaBoss do you have a fg150 model by chance? I was wondering if you could tell me the exact carburetor cuz I've been looking but I can't find the correct one. The ones I've tried so far has a deep bowl and the one I need has to have a shallow bowl
@@jamesthegrower2.0 ahh mine had the FE120, have you checked ebay as well? They might have some, you can also try Chris with General Turf 828-329-4546
@@BermudaBoss cool thanks man 🙏
@@jamesthegrower2.0 np man, good luck with it!
I've been a mechanic in the golf industry for almost 20 years. Toro in my opinion is hands do the best. I've had several fleets of 3500's, 4500's, 1600's, flex 21's, 3400's and 5510's. Very little maintenance. The hardened bedknives last a year on the 3400 and 5510's. With proper backlapping we only ground the reels once a year when the bedknives finally needed changing.
Nice! I got a used flex 2120 last season and have been loving it. Plan on running it again this season as my primary.
Beautiful machines. Love the sling blade cameo. Great clean up and restoration. The Bermuda here is starting to really green up.
Thank you and I totally agree. There is something special about the simplicity of the older models. It has been a super slow green up for me this year, I'm still not even there yet, it should be soon though, thanks for watching and commenting
Great Video, is this the 7 blade reel on the Toro? What is the highest HOC on it? Thanks
thank you! they were all 11 blade and can go up to 1 inch
I have the same era Toro 1000, It has very little throttle control. Not sure if I need to replace the cable. Any suggestions?
Hey! I would probably just replace the cable as cheap as they are
Hey @Bermuda Boss I have a question about the aftermarket carb. Where are you sourcing your parts?
mostly ebay and amazon. What's crazy about amazon is they will have a good one in a then like 1 day later it will be gone and not come back
Good to see I bought a used one and can’t get it started ordered the after maker carb on Amazon and crossing my fingers
Nice! I'm sure you can get it running again. Check the fuel tap assembly too, sometimes they leak. I replaced all of them they were $30 each.
Awesome job man. I just picked up an old 04050 with an fg150. Can’t find a carb for this ole gal, but ordered a cheap carb for an fe150 to see if I can get it to work. If not that’s ok, I’ll get a new needle and float ( more expensive than Amazon carb)and hope that fixes my problem. She runs and cuts paper though!
Awesome man! You might be able to Frankenstein one together. Keep on eye on Amazon it's strange like when I was first looking they had plenty available then they ran out quick - I guess lots of folks are hunting for them. Sounds like you got a good one too!! 👍
Check ebay too sometime they will have parts
Just bought a pair of GM 1000's. can you provide the link to the after market carburetor you bought?
Checkout the amhousejoy one on Amazon for the fe120g engine. It's not as good as oem but seemed decent.
@@BermudaBoss thank you
@@darrensaliva sure thing! I think I bought like 5 different ones. The amhouse one seemed to run the best but your mileage may vary. I have some old OEM ones if you are interested they would need an ultrasonic cleaning though.
@@BermudaBoss i'm going to try to amhouse one. I saw the toro oem one on amazon but there was no picture or didnt say if it worked on the gm1000 or with the fe120g engine.
@@darrensaliva sounds good, heck just keep the box and return it if doesn't work out for some reason, worked good for me though.
Get it
I was happy when I saw you picked one up!
Solid video as always. I swapped out my carb with an Amazon special and it ran like a champ! HaHa Doc.. who is she??
Marky Mark! Thx man I'm hoping the chawasaki carb hangs on 😆 she was purring today I really love these Ole toros
@@BermudaBoss I bet it will run forever! I do too. Will be looking for a riding greensmaster in the next two years
I might have to keep one of these, I Iike them that much 😁
@@BermudaBoss keep them all!
Ohhh you know I would keep them all if I could, maybe I can hide this one in the shed 😁
