Bought the Toro 828LXE

The local dealer sold me the 828LXE for $1,249. He assembled it for free and is shipping it for free to my house (about 10 minutes from the store) tomorrow by 11am (before the storm). He kept the gas out of the machine after assembly so I could come by and make sure it was brand new and never used (sorry, I don't trust dealers until I've done business with them at least once - I've had more than one new car dealer try to sell me a car "just off the truck" with 150 miles on it). I know I gave a bunch of you a tough time about the Craftsman, but if it wasn't for my persistence to get more detailed information out of you I would be blowing with a Craftsman tomorrow instead of the Toro. I'll update this topic after the storm hits and I clear it with my new toy.

No, the Toro manual says nothing about death or injury (other than "Shut off engine before servicing", but nothing about if you don't service it properly you can be injured as a result). Is that just an ommission or due to differences in engineering? I don't know.
And to my good buddy coffeebreath - yes people GAF, or else there wouldn't be any posts (including yours).

PS: How many people have multiple personalities on this site so they can post stuff without using their normal posting name? I find it highly impropable that a poster with only one other post would make a comment "After all the crap you put down on this forum" - as if they are a major contributor to the forum. Reminds me of another double poster "Plugger". Willing to make a bark, but not under his real name. Plugger is the name I joined with and it's the name I'll use in all my posts. I was hoping we could put our initial exchange behind us but I can see your dealing with personal issues so I'll just say my original advice was the best you got and let it go. I didn't join this site to get into a pissing contest with a child.

Stabil brand suggests 1 oz. per 21/2 gallons amongst other mix ratios on the back of their container. This is the mix I have been using. I also add 1oz. of Sea Foam per gallon as a cleanser /corrosion protector. This mix is what I use during the season. At the end of the winter I drain the tank ,fuel line and bowl. Marc

 Plugger, Welcome to the best Forum on the web!! Fred  Thanks, and please accept my appologies for my acrimonious posts. From now on if I can't say something helpful or complimentary I won't say anything at all. Life is too short.

I was hoping we could put our initial exchange behind us but I can see your dealing with personal issues so I'll just say my original advice was the best you got and let it go. I didn't join this site to get into a pissing contest with a child. Our original exchange was because you attacked me, not vice-versa. With your final statement being "pissing contest with a child", one must question your original assertion that you want to put this behind us. If I took your original advice You seem to have a fear of machines and if your not the type of person who can do minor repairs and make simple adjustments your probably getting in over your head with a snowthrower. I wouldn't have the great Toro 828LXE I have today. It was Walt who gave me the best advice, by using facts. --SnowRemover

Congratulations on the Toro SnowRemover. I hope it gives you many years of trouble free service. By the way thanks for the "spit and venom" remark in the other thread. I love it and plan to use it as a screen name on future message boards. I'm already using it in my signature here and several other places. People seem to like it. Thanks Marshall
