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

My little HS520 is a loud bugger.  When I hold the chute handle then it is fairly quiet.  Perhaps I will need to add some nylon washers around the chute.  How loud are Toro 421/621 variants? 2 cycle Toro sounds like small engine motorcycles.  Did anyone do a modification to make his/her SS quiet?

That could be nice project to get all that rust out and paint her nice and shiny.

I am not planning to sand down the rust to bare metal then painting it over.  I am only doing rubbers, scaper and belt in addition to normal oil and sparkplug changes.  HS35 is not a snowblower I want to spend a lot of time and effort.  If I can get three to five years out of it preping an ice rink on my pond.  I will do everything to keep my 928 in a top shape and rust free.  I bought HS35 mostly out of personal curiosity and nothing more.

Not saying you need to paint it, that takes some work. 

I just don't like having rusty things laying around.  I either finish it up nicely or junk it.  :)

Or sell it.
