Tractorhead 8,611 #1 Posted October 5, 2018 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 - Stefan 2 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mike'sHorseBarn 2,652 #2 Posted October 5, 2018 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!! Mike 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevasaurus 22,234 #3 Posted October 5, 2018 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. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky-(Admin) 19,589 #4 Posted October 5, 2018 I love a good road trip, but maybe a call to the place first could have saved you from the disappointment. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The best places to go hunting ( here in the states anyway ) are usually the mom & pop outdated service / lawn & garden shops .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 ..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
953 nut 51,801 #7 Posted October 5, 2018 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. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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* 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skipper 1,788 #9 Posted October 7, 2018 @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 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tractorhead 8,611 #10 Posted October 7, 2018 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 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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 Stefan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
