I have that same engine on a Toro 20378 (2020). I replaced the stock plug with NGK 3481 DCPR6E

ran a cub cadet snow thrower on a torch plug for a couple years then switched over to NGK. Second time I came across one I replaced it immediately.

couple years ago there was a big snow storm on the way and I hadn't started my 26" Cub Cadet snow thrower in 6 years. Figured the carb was shot but hey, the gas that was in it was treated with seafoam so who knows. Drained the gas, pulled the bowl, reamed the main jet with high test nylon...

I thought my belt had gone a couple weeks ago. Halfway through the mower was struggling up the hill and lacked power. I smiled and thought 'belt's 4 years old, with this hill it's probably shot'. I pulled the spark plug boot before tipping it on its side and lo and behold, the spark plug was...

I keep my Toro 22" recycler on the middle tab, 2.5" and I mulch. I just bought a 3rd party blade that sits lower under the deck and thus I've moved all wheels up a full tab to 3.25". You know the deck is too low when you hear a bunch of racket from under the deck while mowing. Sometimes I...

I hot drain mine (drive/remove a screwdriver through the top right after removal) then let them drain into my recycle jug for about a week and throw them out with a clean blue disposable shop towel wadded up and stuffed into the center.

as the old saying goes, 'they just don't make 'em like they used to'

I had a 16 yr old Toro 20007. Sold it a few years back because the front drive bearings went again and I didn't feel like replacing them. Add to that that the deck had been warped for 7 yrs I decided it was time. Thing still ran strong and started on the 1st pull the day I sold it. Little bit of...

I change it after the first mow in the spring, just how I've always done it. I tip the mower to drain.

been buying EPAuto charcoal CAFs from Amazon for a few years now, they work well and don't break the bank. I'm a fan of RockAuto but their shipping can be steep when only purchasing a few items.

I find it challenging to change the oil in my pressure washer (Honda GCV 190 engine). As it has 2 wheels tipping is a challenge, Just have to find a way to keep it steady while it's tilted, 'spose you could use an extractor if you don't want to tip it.

had a toro recycler 20007 for 16y years. Grateful for the knowledge I gained working on that beast. Driveshaft bearings gave 2 years ago and given that I'd had it 16 yrs and it had a warped deck for half of those years, that was it, didn't want to disassemble the front drive shaft again. Put it...

I have a 9 year old simpson pressure washer with a Honda engine that's done the same thing since I can remember, sounds fine with trigger pulled and when I let off the surge happens for about 5 seconds, almost like it's catching up.

Swapped my snow thrower Torch plug with an NGK last winter a kicked myself for not doing so sooner

I go with what the OM lists. Mower 87, blower 91, trimmer 91
