I had a coupe of old little Toro's that did that, wore the scraper bar out and then started to bend and crack the frame.
Got them from relatives that were too old to use them when I started the plow company.
I got a season out of them before buying new Toro 721's.

That's kind of the story here. My Dad gave it to me when he bought one of the Kobalt 60V units.... Let's just say that unbeknownst to me, he went and bought another gas powered Troy-Bilt because said Kobalt was too weak. I would've given this back to him if he'd told me.

I still have a little 100 series Deere jammed in the back of a storage unit w/2 stage blower. It'll throw it 75'..that little guy is fun. Modified of course. Not enough snow for it here. Only pick I can find at the moment, -



The snow thrower attach is against the wall. It's about as wide as a sidewalk.

John Deere only made that model one year...too much motor for a small frame... 28 horse I believe...but its the torque that twists it up lol.

Guess I should look into changing that " 5 Year Member " thing. That wasn't my doing...must be a not very well thought out default phrase ... I think it can be modified though.

I need to replace a wheel bearing on the Toyota. It's been an experience trying to find US or Japanese made bearings. I read that NSK has gone Chinese. Found these pics of National and SKF that say Made in China too. The Toyota dealer wants 105 a piece for them, but can't guarantee they're Japanese. I ordered some BCA's - and I hope to hell they're Japanese.
