Outdoor Power Equipment (Lawn Mowers, Snow Blowers, Chain Saws and more) Discussions

I've used the 1028 for 2 storms and now the unit pulls to the left just enough that sometimes I need to use the opposite cable to keep it straight. It mostly does this when it's under load. It was not doing this before. My dealer doesn't know much since this is their first year selling Toro, wish I had known that before I bought from them. They say they are trying to find out but so far they are still looking into it. I'm sure it's an adjustment and I did download the service manual. But I'm not sure if it's a cable length adjustment or something else. More snow is falling and I'd like to get this fixed. I did call Toro and they can't offer any help at all except to tell me to contact a dealer.

If the dealer I bought from picks it up it'll be $65 delivery round trip and probably 2 weeks before they can get to it.

Any ideas??

Yes the dealer was very good about it. Imnitially they were going to use an inner tube but I guess the hole was straight so the plug worked. i remember back when they used th same plug on car tires so it sould hold for a good long while.

I'm planning to pick up another snowblower and it hasn't snowed for 2 weeks.  Hopefully the local dealers are going to discount the snowblowers.

I wonder if I put summer tires back on my car, would it snow???

I have been finding great deals on cragslist.

The ariens was tooo nice not to buy ..

Hi, regarding the dealer charge for pickup. If the machine is under warranty Toro will pay for pick and delivery. I believe it is for a 15 mile trip. I had to have warranty work on my 1995 powershift and I had it serviced at a dealer near my home not where I bought it. THey picked up and delivered and sent the bill to Toro. I'd check out the warranty.
