Toro GTS5 20482 Pull String Loose

That is what we call the draw string, there is a spring loaded pull that this string is. Wound around. The pulley has to be wound up and. Then the string fits in a. Little slot. Somme times the spring breaks in the pulley, the string fits in a slot by .a knot which sometimes breaks, sorry about the bad news, the string is fishing line and wears out as it gets old.

Remove the motor shroud encasing the pull cord assy. What I do is turn the shroud over, leave the spring in it's slack position and gather up the two broken pieces of string. I lay then down in a circular motion on top of the recoil spool until the string is all coiled up, counting each loop made. That and once more is how many times you'll need to wind that spool up. When you are done winding, "round up" to make the hole in the spool meet up with the hole in the recoil housing. Once you're there, get a medium sized flat-head screwdriver and wedge it between the spool and the housing, hindering the spool from unwinding. Wedge it good. Melt the end of the new pull cord and begin outside the housing and feed the string thru the eyelet on the recoil housing. Keep feeding it ( recoil housing still upside down ) thru until you visibly see it pass thru the eyelet and into the hole of the spool. You may need to use a small pick to grab it and pull it home. Once it's out, it's not over. Pull enough string thru to tie a double-loop knot. When you're satisfied with the strength of the knot, reach down and grab the string, holding it tightly. Next reach in and pull the screwdriver loose. Nothing should move-you're holding the string. Hold the shroud with one hand and let the string slowly pay into the recoil spool. Bolt the shroud back on and go!

you might have you coil set to close to the flywheel and the coil is not letting the flywheel spin like it is suposto sotheir for you string id to tin\ght when you hace the hood on so reagap the coil and sett it a little farther back from the flywheel by not to far back

you can try a smaller string size, this should help. Tim

you must take apart the cord recoil and rewind the pull string,inspect string make sure its the same thickness through out if not replace it, not too hard i believe you can do it.

Hi:
The antenna is held down on the roof by 2 or 3 screws, and the antenna wire runs down the inside of the driver's side of the windshield pillar and comes out down by the fusebox, approx by the drivers knee area. When I changed mine, I took the lower plastic from the bottom of the driver's side dash off, so I could see what I was doing. It was only a few screws to get it off. Once I had the antenna lead loose from the back of my radio deck, I tied a piece of string to the end, then taped it in place, then pulled the old antenna out of the roof, pulling the string up with it. I attached the string to my new antenna, and used the string to pull it back down thru the windshield pillar. Fasten down the screws, connect it back to your radio, and you are good to go!

when the rope broke you first must rewind sring and load tension on it first then install spring while it is underload clamp with vise grips until string is fed through then release slowly allowing string to recoil

remove bolts from cover and remove the cover. Should be able to access the assembly for the pull rope. Go to a local mower repair shop buy some new line. The old line should just be knotted up on the spring loaded wheel in there. You put a new piece on put in a new knot, put some turns on the assembly to basically wing the spring so it snaps back when pulled, put line through whole and attach to pull handle.

how do i change the pulling string on my toro 22 recycler

There sould be a knob that turns counterclockwise to take spool off. If not there sould be two taps that push in and pull down on what they call the spool head. Hopefully this will help you.
