Keys are, by design, weaker than the gears and should sacrifice themselves to keep the gears safe! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Is the tree a better source for such info? Not necessarily. I do not know a member's ability to find the info. Many are new to Red Square and their concern is a specific question - not where the info is located. Original illustrated parts lists are named IPL in the file description. A TIPL is what was copied from Toro which is most often vague and confusing. Some are PL (parts list) only with no illustration. As time goes on Toro is eliminating the illustrations and placing all the parts lists for a model on one page which is almost useless but the best we have. When this started the goal was to grab anything available. As a result we have parts illustrations that Toro does not have any more. Sadly we missed a few before they disappeared. Our file source was the Toro Master Parts viewer and that is exactly the same source Parts Tree uses. At Parts Tree if a part is still available it is priced. Bonus. A link to our files could be 20-40 pages. At Parts Tree in many cases a link can be provided to a specific page in the same 20-40 page file. The hope is a member's question is answered. Posts like this will educate new members of Red Square so they can navigate the site on their own. Just helping others help themselves. A shout out to Toro for supporting us as long as they have. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
