TGK 0 #1 Posted June 9, 2021 I have a Model 71223 Toro Wheel horse which needs a little TLC. I have an opportunity to purchase a Model 71227 for parts. Can you tell me if they are similar enough to interchange some of the parts? Thank you for your help. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WHX?? 48,828 #2 Posted June 9, 2021 (edited) Looks like those are early 2000 verticals ... 16-38HXL & 16-38XL if not mistaken. Ones a hydro and the 223 is a gear jammer but many other parts should be interchangeable. They are considered Toro branded but will not be in the master lists as they were not GT's but straight mowers. Edited June 9, 2021 by WHX24 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WHX?? 48,828 #4 Posted June 9, 2021 BTW somewhat fond of the 227 as mine came with the missus when I married her. They both still great and the only mower I have with a bagger. 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Actually not too far from the truth Sylvia.... thing can pop some pretty nice wheelies on aspalt tho Like @TGK I picked another out of the bone yard fer FREE for parts. Bad news guy but these are considered "diposable" mowers by Toro. Some parts still aplenty on the auction or jungle site or Toro dealers. Best have your trousers up tight from a dealer for parts tho as they might bend you over. They are a dime a dozen here on CL. They are powered by a nice Briggs single... a good pressure lubed motor.... if you take care of it. Sadly most idiots didn’t. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
