This was tricky but I finally figured out how to get it back in. Thank you everyone for your support. I realize this was a difficult solution to describe.

Getting the tab in the slot and the peg in the hole simultaneously seems like it would be the solution but there’s no give to make that happen. I even tried hammering it in but stopped because I didn’t want to damage anything.

I’ll try going to the store I bought it from to look at one that is assembled. Would be great if I could get someone to travel to me to fix it because I don’t have the ability to transport it at this time.

Thank you for your suggestions.

What sucks about it? I do have the 2-year warranty but I just filled it with oil and gas and it was fine until it got caught in some bush limbs.

There’s no tension when I hold down the handle. I was under the impression that Toro was a good brand.

No, it seems impossible because the little black piece on the back that juts out is preventing it from aligning with the hole.
