1987 TORO CR20 snowthrower
CORRECTION! There is an error in the text of the introduction and ending screens - the model in the video is a 'CR20' - not an S200. The S200 was the precursor to the CR20...and had the older 'paddle-style' rotor - not the more modern and efficient two piece rubber 'curved rotor' found on the CR20 and later models. The curved rotor model is far superior to the older paddle rotor units...and, in my judgment, the CR20 is superior, in turn to the later PowerLite series with the top-mount chute...the movable fins on the CR20 are far less likely to clog than the top-mount chutes... BOTTOM LINE? If you can find a used CR20 that is in reasonable shape - grab it...parts are still available and likely all you'll need to bring it up to new condition is the following: 1. replace the nylon scraper bar on the bottom 2. replace the two-piece rotor rubbers 3. lubricate the idler pulley and rotor bearings with lithium grease (waterproof) 4. change the spark plug 5. lubricate the fin position linkage and the choke linkage 6. put some graphite in the key ignition switch 7. grease the wheels 8. paint the undercarraige and exhaust manifold with hi-temp flat black rust paint Far cheaper than a new snowthrower and the new ones are not built as durably anyway... It SHOULD BE GOOD for another 20 years!
