old toro 521 snowblower parts - Snowmobile Forum: Your #1 Snowmobile Forum

I just went to the local shop to pick up a pull start for my snow blower, see title, with a 5hp tech. engine and they wanted $50 for the assembley. I know how dare i work on other things but my sled but i hate shoveling more and it leaves more time for sledding

SEG or anyone else know where i can pick one up, it can be used, abit cheaper then 50 smackers

Looking for a parts break down so if anything just order the 2 parts that i need.

Thanks for the non snowmobile answers

The ground started freezing here it going to be so soon

That's what the sled is good for, just do power turns in the driveway. Throws snow real well.

I have a brother that does some tech work for Toro what exactly do you need?
And hey a question is still a question regardless of what the motor is on right?

The plastic real that the pull rope goes on and the metal catch that swings out to engage the engine.

Thanks kccats

I agree RJ but how do you get the corners

hey if a thread makes it through about a back shaver and your back i really ment snowridas sorry for the mistake

You might try these guys. They are listed on the misc parts parts link list under carburators I think.
Snowthrower Parts
You didn't say what make of engine it has in it. You might check engine manufactuers website for parts break down.

Is that a 5 hp Tecumse? how about a complete recoil shroud? Horisontal?

I'd just get the whole thing. Does the recoil unscrew from the shroud (should be 4 bolts)? That way you don't have to scrrew with the recoil spring, etc.

seg,
it does have the removable recoil and that is what they wanted $50 for. I agree i don't like messing with the spring but if it saves me $20 i will.

Snowrida from a different thread on founding members locky mentioned they voted that it was my turn to shave your back/manboobs at the MI ride. I understand he must have fallen when he got off the little yellow bus that day

thanks Locky

ya its a 5 hp tech. horizontal motor shroud not needed just recoil assembly or parts.

**smallengineguy** · 11-25-2007, 06:24 AM

Is there a mom and pop small engine place around? They MUST have some used ones around (I do).

kccats · 11-25-2007, 08:12 AM

By shroud I ment the recoil along with the shroud cover.

clodev · 11-25-2007, 09:32 PM

how much seg tell me cheaper than $50 PM me if you like really need one hate spending that kind of $ on it. KCcats yes just the recoil portion not the entire shroud with recoil.
