Re: New Toro snowblower already broken

I also had an interesting problem with Toro. Mines the single stage 7 hp. It had some carb problems and the dealer fixed it no charge. Last year I couldn't get it to turn over. Toro you may know has a 3 pull (or two) start guarantee. I took it back to the dealer and he was going to charge me 57.00 for the repair. I said I thought it had a pull start guarantee? He said that only applys if it starts at all.

I almost blew my top. He knew I was a local customer and I would buy other equipment from him. I tend to stay away from HD and the like. He didn't end up charging me but it was a lesson in warranty language.

Help me help my neighbor with his Ariens ST8 24
#3   Feb 12, 2006 6:16 pm
My neighbor, an old timer, got an Ariens ST8 24 from a fella he knows up in Maine. The motor runs fine but today during the big storm he was doing his driveway and it stopped throwing snow. We took it in the garage and observed the following. The auger turn and it pulls in the snow, but the impeller has no power. When it's off, the impeller just spins freely. Is there a shear pin or something or do we need to take the gearcase apart or???

Thanks
