I just, love, love, love my TORO #38350 Power Shovels. I collect and restore these and have 9 so far.
Normally the label says "Power Shovel", the very early super rare ones say "PS-14".
Also super-rare is the triangular handle option # 59164.
Rumor has it that Lawn-Boy made a version that was green, but I have never seen one.
One problem I have found is that the vibration from use tends to loosen the intake screws on the stress plate, causing an air leak and causing a hard starting, poor running, lean condition. A little bit of blue loctite on the threads of these screws solves the problem.
If anyone wants to sell their Power Shovel/PS-14, I will buy!
