absolutly stunning,I know nothing about small engine repair,I have the exact same one,it is unstoppable,I broke a thing that looks like a mini plumbob that has something to do with the carburator float,dont know if I should have the carb rebuilt or if I should just buy an ebay carb & have someone put it on.are parts like that still pretty available for these old machines???
hey man. looking good. im restoring my toro 421 1979. my question is what weight did you use for the auger gear box? i have some 85w-140 EP just kicking around. wondering if that would work? thanks in advance
I could not get the correct Toro paint so I cheated and used either MF or IH Red Implement paint purchased from Tractor Supply. It was the closest match.
@NGRailway Very interesting. My Toro 421 is a 1978 model what year is this one? I also have a 2000 modell year Toro 824XL. Love them both nothing beats a Toro snowblower.
@dualactionsurgilator@dualactionsurgilator When I was looking for parts for this machine I found that the model # 421 is only a partial number. There is/was a tag on the lower rear case that indicates the actual model. Mine is a 421-38240 Mgf. in 1979. It looks like the drum augers were used from 1980 on the 421-38250 models. If you go to Partstree. com you can see all of the Toro models listed along with diagrams. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
@NGRailway I'll have to look next time I have the machine out and see what those numbers are. The 421 simply means 4 horsepower 21inch width. I'll have to check that site out I'll ley you know what i find.

Beautiful machine! You've done afine restoration. One question, what happened to the drum augers? These look like they are from a lawnboy model.

@dualactionsurgilator
This is a very early model that did not have drum augers. They are original equipment as I was albe to get the parts and operators manual from Toro.
