  1. Lawn Boy Snowblowers
    Hi all, I recently picked up a Lawn Boy 522r with the idea of a restoration in mind. I grew up a fan of Lawn Boy mowers and have been looking for a 20-22" 2-stage blower for some time so I thought maybe this would be the best of both worlds. I've done a fair amount of small engine work the last...

    Hi all! Mike here from Buffalo, NY! I am currently working on getting a YouTube channel up and going that is dedicated to the repair, restoration and history of all things Toro from 1980-2000. I’ve been tinkering with Toro mowers and snowblowers of this era sine I was a kid and have amassed...

    I'm replacing the carburetor on my friend's Toro Power Max 824 OE (37798) with a cheap carburetor from Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0BMDL9KH5?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_image I noticed that the new carburetor has an brass adjustment screw near the throttle plate where the original...

    My experience with a snowblower is a cheap craftsman 2 stages (247.881731). It worked but I always wished I had a bit bigger machine doing my 2.5 car wide 150ft driveway. We averaged 30" of snow so it wasn't horrible enough for me to replace it. I moved to a new location and am in the market for...
  6. General Snowblower Discussion
    Hello, I am currently in the market for a new snow blower before the winter hits here in Northern Indiana. Like many others I have done extensive research into what kind of blower to get and it is quite exhausting to decide on what is right. While I know many here have their own opinions on...

    No joke, I had just unloaded a brand new Ariens Deluxe 28 (not the SHO version) from the back of my truck, when a guy messaged me about a 1yr old used Toro PowerMax 1030 OHAE that he's selling for $200 less than I just paid for the Ariens. Haven't looked at it yet, but pictures seem really...
  8. Toro Snowblowers
    Hello, First post, happy to be here! I'm looking a for a float bowl gasket for model #38755, an 821 RC. The factory diagram shows it as available in a kit along with the float, needle, and other stuff that I don't currently need. I imagine that the float bowl gasket exists in generic form...
  9. Snowblowers and Snowblower Parts Wanted
    I love my Little S200. I am tinkering around with it and I am looking for some spare parts. I would like to find a couple of the diaphragm carburetors and manifold (either part). Also would consider a whole engine, must be equipped with starter type flywheel and mounting positions machined in...

    I have recently experienced quite a bit of snow and our current snowblower does not do the job. It's way to small and runs on a battery, which dies before I get half the driveway cleared. Due to this, I have been searching Facebook and Craigslist looking for a different snowblower. However, I...
  11. Snowblower Repairs and Maintenance Forum
    Hello, Due to the large amount of snow we recently got where I live, I have been looking for a new (to me) snow blower. I have been scouring Facebook and Craigslist. I came across a listing of someone getting rid of a Toro 824xl for $80. They said that it needs some work as the friction plate...

    What are my options, or what’s the best way to get a new set of XTracs for my Toro? 12x3.25 Online, local distributor? Do I need to get different rims or do they make ones to replace current tires?
  13. Toro Snowblowers
    Hello. I have inherited a 1998 Toro 1028 Power Shift snow blower. I went to use it in the storm two weeks ago here in NY, and the equipment (lack of) performance showed it needed service. I thought that it was just a new auger belt. Now I have changed the impeller bearing in addition to the new...

    I had gotten these through a trade deal and after some work I had gotten them all running and operating good. I don't know much on value of these machines or the quality of them. The snow champ 5/23 works great with a 5hp tecumseh motor and the tracks are in good shape. The snapper is a 1030...

    This is my first post but I've been surfing hear gathering plenty of information. I LOVE this forum. I'm looking to upgrade my current machine.

  16. Re-Powering
    Hi everyone, thanks for having me. Last night I followed a FB marketplace listing to buy a Toro 3521 with a 'newer motor' that has auger issues (no biggy). While I'm there the guy asks if I fix snowblowers. Honestly, I'm no pro but I am mechanically inclined. Probably more so than most. He...

    I've got to replace the brushes on this Toro but can't figure out how to remove the red cover for access because it looks like the wheels need to be removed to allow it to slide off the axle supports. It appears there's a one way cover clip on the end of the aluminum axle that holds the plastic...

    Hello, Just got a PowerMax 826 OAHE (#37802) a couple months ago and am happy with it overall. This is my first time owning a snowblower and have found this community to be a great resource. After the last storm, I did the EOD last and just put the blower away. The salt caused some rust on...

    New to this - have an ages old Toro 521 (38052) from my Grandma. Runs like a dream and have used it a few years after getting it. This past big storm in Chicagoland dumped a foot on us. (Which has since been followed by almost another 2 feet over the last 2 weeks) Starts fine, drives great...
  20. Toro Snowblowers
    It all started 2 days ago when I shifted in forward gear and the machine went into reverse. Interestingly, the higher the forward gear, the faster it went in reverse. I shut the machine down, waited a while then everything worked fine. Then yesterday, I put it into forward gear, it worked for...
