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

I just acquired a used Toro CCR 3650 single stage 6.5 horsepower snowblower that is approximately 3 to 5 years old. My other snowblower is a Simplicity 924E dual stage 9 horsepower. I use the Simplicity for snow that totals 3 to 4 inches and up. Since my paved driveway is over 60 feet long the Toro will be welcome for the smaller snows. It's a lot faster and easier than shoveling by hand! Here is my question. What would you suggest I do to prepare the Toro for use? It has been stored unused in a garage for about two years and had minimal use prior to being stored. Besides the obvious new spark plug, fresh oil and gas is there anything else I should do to get it ready for winter?  I appreciate your advice.  

Inline fuel filter can be found at OPE dealers, hardware stores, or auto parts store.  They are easily found at the lawn mower parts section.  I don't have a particular brand, but all you need is a small filter with the proper size nipple to fit the fuel tubing.

By the way, is your CCR3650 comes with the Suzuki 2 stroke engine?

I don't know if it is a Suzuki motor but I will find out when I remove the exterior panels. So Toro does not manufacture its own motor?

I don't think Toro makes their own engines.
