Older Toro Snowblower 5hp 24", el. start, owners manual/advice
Original Message   Jan 4, 2009 7:03 pm
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.

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,
