Spot on!! I ran a large power equipment dealership at an Ace Hardware store for 20-plus years. Toro was our stud brand, we sold hundreds of their walk behind units annually, and the Personal Pace drive, later known as Auto Drive, was the number one part of their machines that caused trouble for owners. Your tips on correcting problems on these drive systems are a big thumbs-up. Many times you could adjust the drive cable to correct the action of the drive system, for trouble backing up. As you said in another video, there is a sweet spot on these units which will allow easy backup. If you aren't in the sweet spot when trying to back up, it will drag. Toros have been like that since the SR4 series hit the market in the early 2000's. There is NO WAY to completely eliminate the backward drag issue. It's a characteristic of the drive system.

Thanks for the video - slight adjustment made all the difference

Last week I curb picked a 2006 sr4. I had no idea what a find this mower is. This mower was used hard. Cast deck was chipped up in the front and has a crack in the bottom of the deck at the side discharge. I repowered her with a briggs from an old murray and she is a mover. Now I have a back up for my 2001 personal pace in near mint condition. I found the 2001 at the curb also 2 years ago. It needed a new float. Old one was full of gas. Now I just need to find a plug for the 2006 sr4. Thanks for the toro vid's.

Looks like that newer model is a bolt but for most Personal Pace Recyclers and newer Super Recyclers (pre handle redesign for either) with a regular nut for the adjustment, you can buy the plastic knob/nut from the older Super Recyclers and put that on instead and make fine adjustments easily without tools or having to stop mowing. I also always put the optional “traction assist handle” that comes standard on the Time Master on all of my Personal Pace machines. Most of the newer models are compatible, older ones you have to find the correct angle for it and drill the holes yourself. Makes one handed turn arounds and hilly terrain much easier.

Thank you for this! I was wondering how the hell to adjust the pace. 1st toro so no clue. You’re the man

[WisconsinEric]

2-3 years ago I made that adjustment for my neighbors lawn guy when he thought the transmission on his Timemaster was bad. I made one small adjustment and it was not enough so I made another small adjustment and it was perfect. It only took 3 minutes to do it in his backyard and I have never owned a Personal Pace mower.

Excellent channel. I ordered the 21564 yesterday. I stupidly sold my 18 year old Honda HRX 217 that was still good so I can buy a fresh one before Honda stops production. Literally the same day I sold it Honda issued the stop sell due to the decompression issue in the cam. Nobody knows when or if Honda will start selling their inventory again and I don’t like borrowing mowers. I have a feeling I’m going to struggle with personal pace at least at the beginning after 18 years of Honda’s drive system. Does look like Honda, just like all brands now, no longer makes em’ like they used to anyway.

Thanks for this video. My Toro 21464 was stalling when personal pace was engaged. After going through the carb and checking the auto choke it turned out the personal pace cable needed to be tightened. The mower is only two years old.

[MixingGBP]

4:00. Agreed. With so much competition in this space coupled with the market shift to electrics, I can't see how they can keep producing mowers with this obvious drop in quality and longevity (ahem, *plastic carbs* 🤮).

[keithg]

Thanks JB, another great video! 👍 helped me figure out why my mower is so hard to pull backwards.

[Dlevin]

Thank you! You rock. Made the adjustment on my cables on my personal pace mower and now the self propel works like new. You Rock! Have a great day!!!

[yon]

Thank you thank you thank you. I just literally ran through my yard with this mower did the adjustment and perfect. Thanks again.

[anthonymartin]

You are the "Bomb Diggety" dude. Thank you so much!

[BuzzedGamez]

Heyman, big fan! This video led me to purchasing the same mower. I just finished mowing the lawn and half way thru the personal pace stopped working entirely. At first I thought something got caught in a wheel or below, but no its the self propel not working. Ever had that happen?

[ejs]

Thank you! The old Toro lives to fight another day.

[gregoryeditor]

Thank you so much for letting me know before you even made this video Jared and my neighbor for doing it for me. All I need now is power reverse making the turns easier.3:23 sometime I do that when I get to close to my fence. LIKE 92👍👍👏👏

The personal pace system definitely needs maintenance at least once a season. Take it apart one side at a time and lay out the parts in a very careful order. Clean them carefully and apply a good quality grease. Inspect tem carefully (gear, rocking pins, bronze wheel bushings). Put it back together. Now do the other side. The gears only need a small amount of wear before they don't mesh with the wheel gears.

Thanks boss, 3 years ago got a cheap powersmart, still runs just junk, but foumd a personal pace on Facebook market for 100 bucks, nothing wrong with it just goes to fast, i feel it was worth it mai ly cause ive heard these mowers can last many years with care

[beverlyc.]

Great video, and you are right that Toro provides no information about how to adjust anything on a Super Recycler.
