Hi there, cleaned out my parents garage and came across an old snowblower, probably 20 years old. Its a Toro 5hp, 24",electric start, 4 stroke, all red. Could not get a model # off the engine. Want to fire it up, however don't have oil capacity or specs for a replacement plug. Looking for a manual or info to start this process. Appreciate any advice.

To get a manul for your Toro 521, which is what I think it is, go to this web page. Put 38052 in the "Enter Model number" box and click SEARCH, then click on the year you think the machine was made in. Next click Manuals in the Get More Information menu. Click on the Operator Manual [ English ] link to download the manul as a PDF. Save it to your hard dirve so you will have it in the future.

Thanks for all the suggestions & advice. I did find the correct yr & model, 1977 524 model. MacLorry27, I tried downloading the manual without success, that said any suggestions where a no-charge one is available. Thanks all, |
