BPEisenhower 535 #1 Posted March 7, 2022 Hello all! I had the privilege of going to Greenfield and Waupun Wisconsin this weekend and picked up a few more toys! GT 14 hasn't been outside since 1982 but didn't mind fresh fuel and a battery. Will need all fluids changed and hopefully figure out what hydraulic fluid is correct. And the 1132 Toro snowblower has sat 5 years but started with no trouble with the fuel that was in it. A 75 year old woman owned it and swore by buying the best fuel with no ethanol! Going to service and then spray with Fluid Film to preserve. Thank you all and be blessed! 6 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pull the transmission dip stick and lay it on a clean white paper towel, if it is amber color use 10 W 30 and if it is pink use Dex/merc ATF. The filter is a NAPA 1410 or Wix 51410, either one will do the job. 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pullstart 62,864 #5 Posted March 7, 2022 Sweet finds! That auger on the blower looks well made. I think I like those drum styles more than the individual blades! 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We do plan to attend the Portage show if there is one 2 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Slow in reverse and jumpy/ cavitation in forward travel. I believe it's original filter and fluid 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
19richie66 17,508 #13 Posted March 7, 2022 So did you get the three point hitch with it? I see it has the upper lift bracket and lower mount. I believe I see the lower arms and lift links in the first picture by the D series rear tire. That would be a nice bonus! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Last couple of years has been the dominant brand there since WH was the feature and we started displaying in the horse barns. Be great to see you there BP!
