Most Replaced Parts on the Toro 20331
Self-Propel Drive Belt for the Toro 20331
The drive belt connects the engine to the front-wheel drive transmission. A belt that is cracked, glazed, or worn slips under load and reduces self-propel engagement. Inspect at the start of each mowing season.
Cutting Blade for the 20331
A blade bent from striking an obstruction must be replaced immediately. Replace the blade when it can no longer be sharpened to a clean cutting edge.
Carburetor for the Toro 20331
Ethanol varnish deposits from winter storage cause most hard-start complaints on the Briggs and Stratton OHV engine. Drain the float bowl before off-season storage to prevent this at zero parts cost.
Spark Plug for the 20331
Annual spark plug replacement maintains reliable starting. A plug with black carbon deposits indicates a rich mixture from a clogged air filter or gummed carburetor.

Toro 20331 Recycler 22 Lawn Mower Parts FAQ
What is the Toro 20331 and what engine does it use?
The Toro 20331 is a Recycler 22 self-propelled gas lawn mower with a Briggs and Stratton single-cylinder OHV engine. The Recycler designation identifies Toro’s mulching deck design that recirculates clippings back into the lawn without a collection bag.
Why does my Toro 20331 not self-propel?
A Toro 20331 that runs but does not self-propel most commonly has a broken or worn drive belt or a failed transmission. The drive belt is the first component to inspect.
Why does my Toro 20331 cut unevenly?
Uneven cutting is most commonly caused by a blade that has been bent from striking a rock, a blade too dull to cut cleanly, or a deck that has lost proper leveling. Replace a bent blade rather than straightening it.
How do I winterize my Toro 20331 for storage?
Drain the carburetor float bowl by running the engine until it stalls from fuel starvation, or add fuel stabilizer to the tank. Remove and inspect the spark plug, clean or replace the air filter, and store the mower in a dry location.
