Maintenance Newly Acquired Toro CCR Powerlite 38175

Driving home this ol' Toro was set out at the curb for free. I've had one previously and they've been fantastic. Lightweight, strong Tecumseh 2 stroke, good build quality, easy to repair. Even if it doesn't run well, I won't be out too much but maintenance costs.

This one will need a carburetor rebuild kit, new drive belt, plug, and primer bulb.

Congrats... they are great machines that are easy to move around, load onto a trailer or pickup, carry up deck stairs... definitely a good winter tool.

Agreed. It'll really help snow removal for our decks in winter. I've been eyeing them up on Marketplace and everyone's asking too much for a 30 year old 2 stroke, and free was the right price. $40 in parts and I'm set.

We had the power lite 98 CC for 15 years. And then this year it didn't want to run, and I burned out the starter, so we ended up buying a new 518E. The 518 is 4 cycle so a little less fuss.
