Hello Taryl, I like the way you fix the mower. What you did to the Zero turn I did the same thing to a bucket truck that had intermittent cycle issues. Fixed it the same way you did Taryl. I also added three wires that were over a hundred foot long. Boom height is 90 foot. What I would like to know from you is what brand would you suggest to purchase that is used ??? I want to keep the costs on the lower side. Thank you for your time and I enjoy the video show. Keep on doing what you do Taryl. My I suggest you do a few better brands to purchase for the average homeowner Sir. Good day Sir. vf

Anybody that tries to save people money has my respect!

Its not always about money, its about doing stuff, building, repairing and getting dirtyhands, . Did I mention cussing out engineers?

its hard to find repair shops like Taryl's. Most of them will not think outside the box to do the right thing.

Now those shops that sell Toro equipment will buy those replacement terminals, fix the wire harness with the new terminals and charge the customer for a new wire harness. You know it's gonna happen.

Another great video Taryl! My father turned me on to your channel and I have enjoyed your content. He sadly passed this past Wed of cancer, but I want to thank you for giving us both a lot of laughs during the late stage of his journey. He was a grass rat to the max! Respectfully, Josh

A simple weather-pak connector would have solved this problem. Way to go Toro!

As clean as that Toro looks I suspect the owner power washes it often. That I suspect caused the corrosion on that connector.

That's what I do with Wheel Horse. The later series 300,400,500 had some cheap features that Toro put in. The C160 is probably the best tractor they ever built. Then Toro bought Wheel Horse and used up the parts inventory I got a great deal on a 314 Toro/Wheel Horse and you have to check under the belt guard for failure to the drive belt idler plastic pulley bushing. I had a failure on a 520 and had to adapt an oillite bronze bushing to take up the slop. Thanks Toro

Yes, The GT 150 Series is one of many GM/Delphi connector. While many "car" plugs of all brands are "Weather Resistant," coat terminals and body with silicone grease helps make sure any water that gets in can't cause rust for all. Because the seals often "fail" if wires are bend or pulled sideways near the connector body. Or If installed with wires pointing down even with the cover as above, water can sit and wick down thru any seal.

My fords largest garden tractor has a parking break. I used it the other day, because I needed it to lift something heavy, important! You slam the break and pull the do-dad. It holds perfect. All these modules, and parts, it's part of the system MAN!! lol Tehehehe 🍺

That Elkskins is a pretty enterprising young man. He's alot smarter than he looks! Kudos Elkskins!!

When I’m finished mowing with my 0 turn I give it an air bath from my air compressor. It gets rid of all the grass and dirt and leaves the mower clean and dry. So I hope that the plug ins don’t get the green crustys. It would take a real grass rat to unplug and grease all the plug ins on a new mower but maybe you should. With the dialectic grease Great video. Be careful with that pressure washer.

A true master at work !

I've done repairs on modules like that on my own equipment by digging the epoxy potting out from around the broken pin and soldering on a new connection. But no way would I do that as a repair shop. You could not warrantee a shaky repair like that. Thanks for the vids! 👍👍

Plus the labour time.

Good to see your way Taryl, Thought I would mention my way. If you remove the battery platform (2 bolts) the whole plate comes out really easily and you can install the module from the top with one person. Also as you mention elskins didn't need to remove the gears to disable the parking mechanism, simply take a 10mm and remove what I would call the pawl, It's the part that connects to the module to physically engage/dis-engage the mechanical braking system. It's really easy to remove each 10mm bolt (thread it back in) and let the two arms dangle. push it all day now. Another thing that makes installing the plastic cover ALOT easier is to un-bolt the solenoid and move it a little bit, which gives you the room to properly install the cover and start the problem bolt, which can be tightened (as you mentioned) through the access hole in the frame.

Looks like the ones on the Cummins ISX engine to me If I run into this problem I will find out 😊 Great information and advice Thank You PS. Every connection on that mower needs the grease

That was brilliant to find and replace those terminals. I think if I was doing it as a DIYer without seeing your video I would end up buying the whole harness and cut off the plug and solder it onto the old wiring harness.

🎶 They don't make it easyyy...they just make it cheesyyy 🎶

Great repair job! I do take exception with one little thing. You disconnected the positive battery cable. You should always disconnect the negative cable first. Teaching those grass rats bad practice.

You can get those connectors. Toro don't make em. I have bags of them. Takes a special crimper. Edit, I figured you'd find em. Commented early on. I had to fix a harness on a exmark mower. Can't just get that piece. Harness was like 300.00.

Give Elkskins a new tub of grease for his shirt. He deserves it after that assistance with that time dragger mower.

When I got my new Husqvarna 46" mower, I did some PM work before I used it for the first time. Dielectric greased all the electrical connectors, anti-seized the rear tires, electric pto clutch, bolts for the spindles, and other things to ensure no issues in the future.

I am a heavy equipment mechanic, on my rig I have full setts of Deutch for caterpillar Delphi for older deere harness connection kits. Comes with everything to repair or make new harnesses, little pricey but so worth it when ya need it. Anymore I get all refills from Amazon so there ya go.

Great job on the repair and saving the customer lots of money…👍👍👍

Anyone who owns one of these like myself and is mechanically inclined knows that 2nd to the motor going is the fear that this thing will. So now thanks to you I can see how to tackle this should it ever. One for the books Taryl !! thank you. Wish the stamp decks on these were thicker, they are prone to rust. Blow and rinse the deck off after mowing. Annually remove the deck and make any repairs and touch ups.

A couple of years ago I diagnosed and replaced one of those brake modules for a guy after his "brother" had already come and installed a new battery, starter motor, starter solenoid, and key switch! After I was done, the guy asked me to uninstall all his brother's new parts and put back the old ones so that he could return them on amazon and get his money back!

Hi Taryl, long time subscriber, first time commenter from New Zealand. Classic case of why we should be keeping combustion engines and not converting to electric. If they (Toro, or should that be Zoro) can’t even put electric grease on the terminals, what faith do we have in the companies making the new age mower’s getting it right at the factories. Zoro, that sounds like a new character to go with “Blademan and Throttle “ . Great channel, very helpful and informative. Keep up the great work.

You should've able to get the wire seals for the connectors, as it is a GM terminal , and or apply silicone to the back of the harness connector to seal it.

You never fail to surprise me! You are the best at what you do ! Love watching your videos .

they fixed the issues with the brake after the 2013 model. no issues after that. rust was the main issue. it also is very easy to turn the brake off manually.

“Thanks for the tip Taryl! I’m gonna but soma them! “ ❤ It’s nice to see another shop doing a rebuild on a connection terminal. I have a customer in my neighborhood we did a rebuild on his PTO switch connector on an old craftsman GT 3000 riding mower. I had to order the terminals from Oregon specifically, and return on the switch with a brand new PTO plunger switch. Even came back with the wires, broken for the PTO clutch so we did that in a Molex terminal. I will be picking up one of your crimping tools very soon!(More capabilities than my static Molex crimper.)

Mower looks pretty clean like maybe it’s been cleaned frequently using a pressure washer & forced water into the connection?

Very professional repair, back to original configuration. Tenacious pursuit of the correct repair parts, KUDOS!

I have ran into this same exact problem. Went on Amazon and bought some pin connectors and repinned that pigtail.

your customers are dam lucky to have you and your family helping them God bless

If all your Phillips screwdrivers were magnetized, you could put the screw on it and it would hold--works for all kinds of stuff--like carbs--no more dropped screws, etc. Thank me after you become a believer! Learned this working on electronics in a TV shop years ago. :-) Also, I have a pretty good collection of rare earth magnets out of those modules--it's pressed in to the big gear.

Thanks for the video, Taryl, I remember watching a video of yours and you did a demo on the Toro Timecutter. You said it was a quality lawn mower, so I bought one and I like it a lot sits in the garage.

That connection is actually a Molex MX150 connector series. What you bought is a knockoff part. The female connector pin should be Molex: 330012003. There's your dinner!

Nice job . I got a older mower at home thats been patched together since i bought it a few years ago ..it mows grass pretty good . Thanks for the videos

T ! Love ya but need to chip in that yes, I do have that mower. And I did need to replace that part a few years ago. Couple things...It is very hard to get to and I probably wouldn't have done it myself if I had seen this video beforehand. I swapped out my module from underneath and didn't really take off nearly as many parts as you did. Fortunatly I did not have the damaged connector to deal with but I do think that installing the annoying cover is an attempt to protect that connection. It is always a little thrilling to diagnose and fix something like this and your videos are remendously helpful. Thanks

I wish you made this video 2 months ago, lol . I did it the long way. I replaced the module then the whole wire harness. I found it for $100 on eBay. So spent 260 total.

Thumbs up to elk skins for moving it and getting it there. Is there a weather pack on connector.

love when you do this type of video

Great investigative work,and fix, and a great video overall.

GT 150 is used for a bunch of GM car headlights like say a 2018 Malibu. I'd have to look it up but for a whole bunch of terminal types GM sells what is called a 'terminated lead' which is just a terminal pre-crimped to a length of wire. Good for a diy because a person can make that repair with just a dental pick and basic crimp splices or solder instead of a specialized set of terminal crimpers.

Love my 42 timecutter , never any issues , never wash it , always blow it off with air compressor.

This is why you're the best taryl

Nice fix Taryl. You would think the engineers at Toro would design this differently. Good to see the old Elkskins. A lot of dealers would charge a fortune to fix this. Taryl has my respect for saving us grass rats some money.

What the... I thought you movie "stares" were on strike???? 😎 Hollywood cannot talk, no writers. 🥰 Toro it apart.

Remove the brake and change the ignition circuts to switches, or back on the key. Like it should be, some simple screw to set brake

Great video. Having to look for parts like that seems part of my usual evening trying to repair machinery that is to complex for what reason? Only problem I saw was you disconnected the battery positive first instead of negative first. It would be interesting to find out who was on the design team, and their experience/qualifications that they brought to this product.

You're the best. I've watched your videos and they have definitely saved me a ton of money and gave me a few laughs
