should have been 5/8” “B” section not 1/2” “A” section to handle the power of the motor. I upgraded to a Donaldson 2 stage air cleaner because std filter not up to the task. Best decision ever. This mower is still going strong.
Superb basic engineered mower – Reliable workhorse for my large 1hc farmhouse yard. Over 12yrs old, never missed a beat, never broken anything other than usual wear items and operator mistakes.

removing the deck and cleaning thoroughly. Correct use and maintenance is the secret to any machine and will usually guarantee years of trouble free use. I am not connected in any way with Toro (but I am a qualified mechanic)
Could not be happier with the Toro
