looking at buying a used lawnboy push mower.  its a 2004 (i think) gold pro model with the 6.5hp 2 stroke duraforce.  new to the LB's but from what i gather they are good units.  have not seen yet but by the looks of the photo's, its in good condition.  wondering what you think it may be worth?  also what is the difference between the silver series and gold and the pro and non pro model.  thanks.

my vote is toro. i've had both and have found the toros just throw snow better.  personal fav would be the 2450 2 stroke.

while i can appreciate not every machine is the same, most parts would be common.  i have a 2008 arians 624 2 stage blower.....where and how is the best way to grease this machine.  pictures would be great if you have them.  thanks rob

ps - dont have the manual for the machine.

i'm a big fan of single stage snowblowers and the toros are the way to go, imo, if buying one - i have owned several and they are great machines.  having said this if storage space and time was not an issue i would probably recommend a mid sized 2 stage snowblower in your situation - something like an ariens deluxe 24.  more versitile and able to handle more snow situations.  with a single stage, it will get through the EOD but not w/o having to use a shovel to break up etc and this in itself can be a chore.  with a 2 stage you are getting a machine that has a drive mechanism and able to handle more diffucult snowfalls.

this may help..where is the bushing you are referring to.
