Toro Snow Master key?

[rickpaulos]

Just got an older snow blower. Basic front flapper style but light enough I can lift it into the back of my vehicle.
Missing the key. Are these all the same key for older Toros?

Toro Snow Master
model number 31506
serial number 706843

Also, is there a way to look up the age of this model number?

thanks.

Uses a standard key like this. Very readily available everywhere. Units serial number indicates it’s either a 1997 or 2007. https://www.napaonline.com/en/p/SME...e=1&gbraid=0AAAAADzGEwyJOLxh0kw-8SuXVVAWNIXqa

Stopped by the local Toro dealer today. The guy working the counter had a bunch of saved keys from retired machines. Got one that fit. Well all he had fit even though they had 3 different brand names on them.

New gas & oil, no start. Took the carb apart and blasted it with carb cleaner. It finally started but ran pretty bad. I realized I lost one of the adjustment needle's metal washer & rubber seal. Ordered parts tonight. The last few machines I tuned up I found it was much cheaper to buy a new carb that a rebuilt kit. Well no new carbs to be found with the same model number.
