Greetings,
New to the forum here...
Just picked up a Toro Super Recycler, 2003 vintage. Looking for some knowledge from the experts here.
Model 20039, Serial # 2300048XX. Parts manual states it should have a B&S 122607-0118-E1 GTS 6.75HP OHV engine installed. Chute for the clipping bag in installed, bag came with the machine.
I'm in process of cleaning the machine up as best I can. Sellers told me it hasn't been run in at least 7 years, probably more. Belonged to her father, now passed for some time.
Machine seems to be in excellent condition. Pulled the carb, I've seen dirtier ones on brand new machines. Jets look clean. Oil, if 8 years old, is like new still (will be changing current, then run for an hour or so, then another change). Gas tank was clean and empty, no bad smells. Compression seems OK. Pulled all plastic and the tin housing for a quick bath and degreasing. Air gunned the exterior, cleaned the fins, etc. Waiting for some parts (air filter, V-belt, spark plug, gas line, primer bulb etc) to arrive before even attempting to start it up. Picked up a used OEM battery charger, just connected it to see if there's life in the one that came with the machine, will know after 24 hour or so. Picked up some Tru-Fuel (no ethanol) for the first few runs.
As I stated previously, it has the chute attachment for the clippings. I'd prefer to delete that and source a "mulch plate" for it's replacement. Are these still available OEM, or does the forum have knowledge of a reputable seller of used parts?
Looks like I'll be spending a few hours looking through the previous threads....
Thanks in advance for any help given.
