    Keep making videos. You do a nice job making them !! I paid $1700 for mine back in 2009 with 2 year zero financing. Hard to believe it still worth what I paid for it !! Came across your video trying to figure out why mine won't move after running over some sticks. Re-engaged the drive pins. But still won't move. Hope to figure it out today.

      I’m wondering if maybe your drive belt got broken or knocked off possibly?

    You can wrap a ratchet strap around the tire in the center and tighten. It will help squeeze the tire and get a seal to air up and seat the bead. Great videos!

      Yes, I’ve done that many times! On smaller tires it doesn’t always work so well. Thanks for watching!

    I have a similar ss4235 Toro Timecutter with a 21hp Kawasaki engine. A bit newer than yours. About 2014. Paid $1400 for it from the son of a man who sells and maintains Toros. Great for mulching leaves! Crap on hills. I hate the front tire valve stems...hard to fill. Grease zerk hard to reach, too, unless I take off the wheels.
    All in all, it's saved me twice what it cost me to hire someone to do fall cleanup and mow the weeds.
    $1500 profit for parts and a day's work is not bad.

      Yeah, for some reason I couldn’t get more than $1,800. I thought it was worth $2,000, but I guess not right now.

    Ratchet strap around the tire will help set the bead then air up with air compressor.

      Yep! I’ve used a ratchet strap several times. On really small tires it doesn’t always work as well.

      No, I did not change the hydro oil on either of the Toro zero turns I had, so I can’t say how hard it is.

    Why are you selling this timecutter 42" 19hp kolar engine zero turn which is a 2009 model for $2200!!!???
    Mine cost that much in 2009!.
    If your going to sell it,sell it for $1200.
    The front tires are also nobbys.

    • @garagestory
      @garagestory  2 года назад +1

      The price of mowers has gone up, a new Toro similar to this would run you $3,200-$3,600 it looks like.
      And mowers have value based more on condition than age.

      That would be a steal to get new for $2300! Around here a low end tractor style is around $2K. A mower like this is well over $3K, probably around $3.5K.
