This is a complete tune-up kit for Toro TimeCutter SS and MX zero-turn mowers with LCP (Liquid-Cooled Professional) V-Twin engines. It includes everything needed for a full service: air filter, fuel filter, spark plugs, and synthetic oil (SAE 30 or 10W-30, check your manual). Designed for annual or 100-hour maintenance intervals.
Fitment & Compatibility
Only for Toro TimeCutter SS (2006–2021) and MX (2017–2021) models with LCP V-Twin engines (e.g., 74750, 74760, 74770, 74780, 74800, 74802, 74804, 74820, 74822, 74840, 74842, 74844, 74860, 74862, 74864, 74880, 74882, 74884, 74900, 74902, 74904, 74920, 74922, 74924, 74940, 74942, 74944). Deck sizes: 42", 50", or 60". Not for TimeCutter ZS, SWX, or MyRide models. Check your engine model number (stamped on valve cover) – must start with LCP. If you have a different engine brand (Kawasaki, Briggs), this kit won’t fit. Measure your existing air filter dimensions (height ~3.5", width ~6") to confirm.
Key Things to Know
- Synthetic oil included – high-quality 5W-30 full synthetic (1 quart). If your manual calls for SAE 30 or 10W-30, this is acceptable, but don’t mix with conventional oil.
- Installation is moderate – requires basic tools (socket set, spark plug wrench, oil filter wrench). Expect 30–60 minutes. Watch for overtightening spark plugs (torque to 15–20 ft-lbs).
- Common gotcha – the fuel filter orientation matters (arrow points toward engine). Also, the air filter pre-filter foam must be lightly oiled (use included oil or a few drops of engine oil).
- Price vs. OEM – at $124, it’s cheaper than buying Toro-branded parts individually (usually $150+). But cheaper generic kits exist (~$70) – this one uses high-quality WIX filters and NGK spark plugs.
Should You Buy It
Yes, if you own a Toro TimeCutter SS or MX with an LCP V-Twin and want a hassle-free, OEM-quality kit with synthetic oil. It’s a good value for DIYers who want to avoid sourcing parts separately. Skip it if you have a different engine brand or want to save money with generic parts.
