Toro 22-Inch Recycler Lawn Mower Blade Replacement

Introduction

I'm about to show you how to change the blade on a Toro 22-inch Recycler lawnmower. It's a relatively simple process that should take only a few minutes. A socket wrench with a 5/8-inch bit, and a brick or a piece of wood are all that's required. Just make sure to drain the gas, put the lawnmower on its side, stabilize the blade, and unhook the sparkplug wire. It's important to unhook the sparkplug wire so the engine has no chance of starting. In only a few minutes, your Toro lawnmower will be producing a well-manicured lawn on a hot, sunny summer afternoon. Lawnmower users need to change the blade once every two years. You'll know when to change it when the blade looks dull or bent, and dents or gouges appear.

Place the lawnmower on its side.
Drain the gas, and make sure the lawnmower is tilted so the oil dip stick is down.
Oil can't seep into the air filter if the oil dip stick is down. Draining the gas tank is important to prevent gas from being spilled.

Étape 3

Use a sturdy object, such as a brick or piece of wood, to keep the blade stable.
If using a brick or similar object, place it on the right side of the blade because we'll be turning the socket wrench to the left.
If using a piece of wood, place it across the bottom of the mower, so that the right side of the wood is wedged against the blade.
A small piece of wood is the most common way to stabilize the blade.
