Do you own a new Toro snowblower?
« on: December 30, 2015, 07:11:19 AM »
If you do then you've probably found that the augers don't have grease zerks. Silly Toro just wants #$%* to break now!

I made a video about how to grease your shafts on newer PowerMax snowblowers. Enjoy!

Wow. They have really cheapened their designs that much or is it the ultra-cheapo model?

Well it IS the cheapest model they offer... but looking at the parts fiches for all current PowerMax blowers, NONE have grease zerks.

I owned a Toro, and I never will again. I bought a Honda, and two households used the ever-lovin' #$%* out of it for...8 years? Including clearing rinks on the lake with it all winter. I sold it for $800 to my neighbor when I left Boston and he was DELIGHTED. It still looked and worked like new. It cost double what the Toro cost, was well worth it.
