I have 2 years of hard use on my Toro. It needs a scraper and new paddle/auger rubber. If we get the big snow next week I should dig the old 2 stage out of the garage.
1997...Have changed those several times. Don't wait too long like I have done or it will wear metal... I have welded and changed other parts. :BangHead: Never done anything to the original Tecumseh engine - still running good. :thumbsup:
