Toro R-tec snowblower

[Fattylocks]

My $20 Toro. Yard sale find. Missing the primer bulb. It had a nice strong compression pop so I took a chance. Got it home and put some fuel in it. Used shop air at the primer and four pulls later in started in a cloud of smoke. Ran good and blew a lot of smoke at first but cleaned up. Pulled right up my drive way. Score!

Nice find.
Use some vinyl cleaner (protectant) and it would look brand new.

Similar to the one I've owned since new. It's beast. I went to premix Trufuel or VP because I only need about a half gallon each winter. Starts and runs like new.

Man, I am truly jealous. This is the Lexus of the Toro 2cycle snow blowers. It is heavier than the standard Toro but has more rpms. Not too many people realize that a Toro cr3650/2450 model are equivalent to a Ferrari on wheels for its lightweight maneuverability and snow throwing capability. Consider power to weight ratio. Today’s 4cycle single stage are a trashy design due to its inherent heavy environmental friendly engine which becomes unbearable as u approach being a senior citizen.

I had a ccr2450 for 10 years.. it was 30 years old when I curbed it.. rusting out... I could have revived it but it was going to need major parts and overhaul.
Bought a 721e to replace it.
