I have a Toro Timecutter 5000 (the 50" model). I have had it almost 5 years now I think. Honestly it has done fairly well so far considering it is a homeowner model. Has the Kohler single cylinder motor. I have had one bearing give up in the deck, and probably one of the weakest links is the idler pulley which has a single shoulder bolt which broke (basically made a bolt to replace since they do not sell the bolt alone). I did replace the deck belt and blades this year, but that is normal wear items on any mower, and I damaged belt putting the deck back on after blade sharpening. I wish I had gone ahead and got a commercial mower in the fall or winter, but I got an exceptional price on it with about $500 off list, so I am not really complaining and I mow a LOT of rough terrain with it, and most is not level. I am thinking use it another year or so, then sell and go find a commercial to go as long as I will need one, but all in all, the Toro is holding up much better so far than the junk MTD it replaced. MTD used to build a decent homeowner mower, but not the case any longer, and MTD makes several different brands of mowers with just different color paint on them.

To top that off, you have a cup with oil in it ("why would you want to lubricate your carburetor?"). On closer examination (and some reading in a AC D-14 service manual), I found out that this is a pretty ingenious method of cleaning the air in the tractor's intake tract.
