Toro 4 stroke single stage snowblowers with 6 hp OHV Tecumseh engine?
Original Message   Mar 13, 2010 12:45 pm
I have an opportunity to purchase a slightly used 2009 toro 421 single stage snowblower. It has a 195 cc tecumseh OHV engine. Does anyone have any experience with this engine?

Just too clarify..........The older 421 had a standard side valve Tecumseh engine and not an overhead valve engine.
The new models use a Loncin overhead valve type.
Clint,

The model I am looking at has an OHV 195 cc Tecumseh engine.  These models were European models that were sent to Canada when they ran out of single stage snowblowers last year.  My guess is that they have the same specs as the side-valve version.

My bad, Joed. I didnt know they existed.
Would you post a model number just in case I ever run into one?
Thanks.

I could have swore you were on Toro's payroll.  :)  Good points though.  Its hard to ignore that Rtek engine is perfected by now.


If I was...wouldn't I be pushing the new stuff??? I hate the direction they are taking things with foreign-made junk and underpowered 4-strokes.
