Sound like a safety switch or fuse. Make sure all levers/pedals/seat safety switches are in correct positions. Most lawn tractors have a fuse too so check that. My Wheel Horses even have one under the dash.
About Toro.. Depending on model if good or not? Many are True Pond Wheel Horse tractors even being decades old will outlast anything bought today unless it has a diesel engine. I have two real Wheel Horse tractors that have outlasted everyone I knows mowers including JD & Zero turns. Neither burn oil nor seen it's first ring job even. No major repairs, one is a 1976, my other a 1988. Mainly sheet metal differences between these tractors like many Toro Wheel Horses were.
That said many Toro were MTD cookie cutters like Pony/Horse, Cub, Craftsmans, Bolens and White etc.. Don't bundle all Toro mowers/tractors together because there are huge differences between models. Get what you paid for. Very doubtfull anything you own Daniel can run 23 different implements or pulled Indy cars to pit area with ease. 25yrs from now my cast iron brute's will still be around but will yours?
I have had the same issue with Toro. Finally took it to a local wizard. AFter about 5 minutes if him trying he suggested it would make a great boat anchor. Once Toro goes out of factory specs, that's just about it. A few lucky folks I know with Toro products either accidentally stumble on the just-right combinations or off to the lake they go.
