bert55044 0 #1 Posted October 23, 2010 I have a D160 with a snow thrower with missing parts. I would like to find a manual if any one knows where it can be purchased. I opened the gearbox and found something like gray grease in the gearbox... not sure if that is correct or not. The parts list shows a big spring that I don't have either. Any information about the spring would help. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gerry w 2 #2 Posted October 24, 2010 Welcome to RS! The spring is a lift assist of sorts. It hooks to a bar that should be part of your transfer case and down to the blower. The manuals can be found, someone here will help you with that. What other parts are you missing, hopefully you have the transfer box and pto shaft! :thumbs: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
defed 0 #3 Posted November 15, 2010 i have looked at the manuals available online, and the pics are difficult to see (most likely 'best available' copies from toro). i don't have a spring either, have used mine for a cpl years now. not sure why one would need lift assist w/ hydro lift?

slufoot733 70 #5 Posted November 21, 2010 I have a snow thrower for my D200. The manual state the gear box is filled with Lithium grease . I would have thought it would have 80 or 90 weight gear lub but "the manual" states lithium grease......so that's what I have in mine. KT Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
