Frustrated trip

[Tractorhead 8,565]

Today i traveled in a so called "well sorted" Toro Servicestation near Berlin,

that's about 370 mile away from my home.

I have the big hope, that i will find here some "older or used" parts in usable condition...

- but nothing...

 

Sure, it was a huge Area, but just filled with a lot of totaly damaged crap from cheapes Brands ....

They just have 2 new "Plastic mower Tractors"  and only one was a Toro and a lot of new "plasticparts" for cheapest gardenmower and that's it...

absolutely no parts for older Toro machines or Toro spare parts, what i woud expect normally at such a Station.

 

what a f... 370 miles for nothing - just to see a few parts of crap.

 

I was looking, to find maybe 2 Wheelweights new or used and maybe a small Shovel for my frontloader..

what a frustrating trip -

 

it shall be prohibited, they call themself a "huge Toro Servicestation"..

 

 

 

 

Sorry but that trip frustrates me today -

Gotta love false advertisement........ 

 

I know you could find some here in the states, but shipping would be very expensive. I imagine parts for older machines in Germany are pretty scarce. Good luck with the search!!

Gutten Tag    Welcome to Red Square

I think you should contact @Skipper  , he just brought over a whole truck container of Wheel Horse and TORO parts and horses from the states.  I think he is in Denmark.  He may have what you are looking for, so it will not be a wasted trip.

I love a good road trip, but maybe a call to the place first could have saved you from the disappointment.

@Tractorhead Sorry for the wasted trip, maybe better luck next time!

The best places to go hunting ( here in the states anyway ) are usually the mom & pop outdated service / lawn & garden shops .

They're getting harder and harder to find but the reward for a little digging is usually pretty substantial .

Keep after it .....

lawn equipment dealer near me (not Toro) has quit stocking and selling anything used. His insurance is a lot lower because the liability on a used part is totally on him, new parts and equipment can be passed on to the manufacturer.

Yes, you are right, normally i will do so before, but in case of a lot of good issues and real cool deals in the past, 

i doubt it is not necassary.

What a fail... Ok - not at all !

 

**** happens -  grab anytime the best of a situation - thats my main motto, i just was disappointed hmm forgotten about.

 

- the good part of the day was, my wife and i have a very nice eveving here near Berlin.

Finished with a good Dinner and closing up with a funny Movie at a local Cinema.

So this day was independently of the worse Toro Station - i deleted this on my reminder - a success! 😎

It just depends of the point of view - but thanks for the Info about @skipper.

 

It was not Urgently an real search, it was just a"looking for trip" but for my expectations about that advertising i was really disappointed.

Each farm machinery dealer arround my home is better sorted, than this guys - however...

 

I know, not really economic, driving that far for a shopping trip - but hey - no Hobby is economic at all.

My Wheel Horse becomes my new Hobby and it is definiteley with a huge addiction.....😇😉

..... it can be expanded... *g*

@Tractorhead  Just send me a PM with a list of what you need. I have a new container full of tractors and parts leaving the US this year also, so I can bring whatever you want, if I don't have it on the shelves already

 

Im in denmark, but I can also ship it to you if you like

[Tractorhead 8,565]

Back home,

independently of the Station, we made us nice Weekend Near Berlin.

 

 @Skipper thanks for your Offer, but i will First search at out local farmmachine traders,

and if i fail, i will contact you. Things i looking fore, are not a really need, they are just a like to have...

 

Main issue iam looking for are :

for Onan E125V engine 

valvecover gasket

intake valve seal

(or maybe better a whole gasket set for the Engine.)

to reduce the oil spill on my engine.

 

it maily blows a small blue colored cloud, while starting and this i associate shall be a defect intake seal.

Compression is still good and when the engine is running and warm, just a light oil smell can be taste.

Maybe also pistonrings and a hohne wil be necassary, but this i like to check

The Engine gaskets, except the head gasket, for the E125V are available in one kit. The Onan # is 102-1433 and we keep them in stock if you can't locate it in Germany. Intake seal is # 509-0289 and also stocked. This is the gasket kit pictured. :) Note: Gasket kit is for all specs except 11531. If you have the spec # 11531 on your motor tag, this gasket kit is not correct.

Woooohoooo !!!! - Great !

i will doubleckeck tomorrow, i saw today a sign on the Engine,

but they painted it, so it's hard to read with a torch.

Maybe at daylight it's better to read.

i will also use some colorcleaber with caution.

 

If so, can i PM you for Order or shall i mail you?

I definitely didn't find it at any source, here in Germany.

 

thanks for that great news! 

Regards

A PM will work. The E125V spec #'s that kit # 102-1433 is correct for are any of the following: 11217, 11294, 11315, 11326, 11330, 11474, 11536 and 11537. If you locate any of these spec numbers on the tag, you are in luck!
