The belt is slipping and that causes the squeal. If it squeals with a new belt, it is indicative that something is not turning freely, causing the belt to slip.

Hi,

Does the sector gear turn when you turn the wheel?

Does the steering shaft fit tight in the bushing and does the bushing fit tight in the housing?





The middle of the pinion should be in line with the sector gear. Is this how it is? Did you have the the steering wheel off and check the splines in the wheel? Is the pinion gear turning?

Let me know,so that we could proceed further.

Hope i helped you.

Thanks for using ' Fixya ' and have a nice day!!

I have a 22" Toro Recycler Lawn Mower with front wheel drive. After many years the original tires wore out, primarily the left front. After I replaced the wheels the front wheels kept falling off. I learned that Toro uses an unusual two layer washer on the front wheels. You need a) either an exact replacement for this washer OR b) two separate washers. The hole of the washer is 3/8" Everbilt has the smaller flat washer PN 637-009 and the larger washer can be found in the Everbilt PN 281-293. The SMALLER washer must be placed closer to the frame, the larger washer is closer to the wheel. Once this was done it ran perfectly. Later I found pieces of the original washers in the grass. Toro had the replacement washer available on their website, I was just in a hurry to get the mower back up and running. The Everbilt washers were purchased at Home Depot.

Yes you can just unhook the wire and see if you have spark then, only thing is if it is the kill switch then you will have to replace it or you won't be able to shut your mower off unless you choke it but that will eventually wash the oil from cylinder causing premature cylinder wear, hope this helps you

carb is probably dirty. an out of adj governor will make it rev high.

make sure your tires are at proper pressure first. then you can google how to adjust the drive linkage.

I, feel sorry for you, after reading your problem, but don't worry you visit the Reliable-Store they will help you for sure. Here is the link - Best Manuals

If you take the wheels off and remove the belt from the small pulley on the the front axle underneath the pulley you should see a small transmission. You usually can split this unit in half . You will see two gears and sometimes one plastic and one metal. The plastic one is usually the culprit. Hope this will help you out. Donnyb60

* Blowers perform the single, simple function of blowing material. * Blower/vacuum combinations combine the blower function with a vacuum feature. Leaves or debris can be directed into an attached bag, which makes this type of unit great for vacuuming leaves from shrubs. An additional mulching feature is available on some leaf blower/vacuums. Mulched lawn debris can be used in compost piles or bagged for disposal. Most convert easily from blowing to vacuuming mode.

Most gas mower carburetors have a tiny hole for the fuel to rise into the vacuum venturi throat of the intake. The hole in this riser tube which goes down the center of your float chamber to the area where the fuel sits in the bowl is only as big as dental floss. Take the tine of a wire brush to clear it of crystallized or varnished gasoline and oxidized pot metal tube crust. When they make stainless carburetors, it will eliminate half of the heart attacks caused by this problem. Additives and condensation that settle out in old gas also can lead to clogging.

battery or cable problems When using the battery , there is insufficient power left to run the ignition system when pull starting what is in the battery is sufficient to start the engine

Find an identical model on eBay for a lower price than a new mower, and use it for parts, or switch parts if the eBay model is in better condition. Since it is from 1987 before many of us were born, as stated in the Star Trek tv show, "Its Dead, Jim."

Sounds like the adjustments need to be worked on outside the carb. If they are dry put a little bit of light oil or even WD40 on all the moving parts on the carb. Sometimes they just get dry and a little rusty from sitting.

Clean the carb. The old gas gunked up the orifices.
