There is no key involved. Plug it into you extension cord and press the start handle to activate the snow blower.

Can you get another key from manufactuer. I don't recall mine having a key. Maybe I have a slightly different model.

If I recall correctly, the key is a plastic thing, relatively cheaply-made, designed to keep the power cord from pulling out while the machine is in use. If you can plug in, the key is probably not needed. You might want to wrap the cord around the loop below the handle to keep it from being pulled out. If you can't plug in, you might see if you can do something to get parts out of the way so you can. Good luck!

I have the same model. My kids are grown so I have no use for the key, so I taped it in the keyhole. I notice that turning the key pivots a block in between the plug extensions. I read and see that you must push the key in before turning it. So I experimented with a screwdriver. I found it very easy to push-in on the flat end of keyhole at the squared end (a popsicle stick would work fine). While it is held downward it is easy to push the plastic block out of the way with other hands index finger. Then you can plug a power cord into it in normal way. It is a bit like a kid safe bottle cap, in-that it makes it harder for unsupervised kids to hurt themselves or others. If you leave it unlocked, and you have young children, I would store the power cord away from the unit.

Jack is spot on! I have had the Toro 1800 for 3 days. The 1st day the belt slipped off. There was side to side play in the roter/auger, just a little bit, but enough. I pulled both side covers off, put the belt back on, and tightened the hell out of everything. Put it all back together, and it has been running perfect for some major snow clearing the last 2 days, at least 6 hours each day and at least 6 inches of snow cover. After you take it apart and tighten everything, I'd recommend putting some black duck tape over the seams of the side covers to make sure everything inside stays dry, so far so good for me.

Sorry, I really don't know. I only ordered one. I did want to make copies of the key just in case I lost mine, and I couldn't find a place that had a matching blank. I tried Ace hardware, Home Depot, a small local hardware store..none of them could make a copy. Maybe you can try to email the seller. Sorry again.

Can't help you... actually it's a BLANK key... suspect I'll have to go to my local DEALER to get them to cut the key brom this blank.

The same thing happened to me. The key was cut wrong (Sorry Ace Hardware, and they did it FREE). I went to Lowe's, they had a better machine and the re-cut key worked as advertised.

Just go to your local small engine mechanic and give them the model number of the carb (Tecumseh 632334a). They should have it or be able to tell you where to get it. Even Sears may have it. Just be sure to give them the model number (Tecumseh 632334a). Good luck.

Dorothy,I would suggest you go directly to the toro company (www.toro.com) and click on the parts tab. you will be required to enter your mowers model #. Where it is on the mower depends on the year and type of mower. Once you get the list of parts up, there should be a description and image. you should be able to recognize it when you see itRegards,Mark a fellow Toro owner.

Check your model number and go to Toro.com and call them directly if you do not have a Toro distributor in your area.

You have to get a replacement from Stack-on. If you still have the paperwork that came with the safe it included an order form for new keys. In absence of that, you will have to contact Stack-On.

Hi, the key did not work for my mower. I decided to sale the mower rather than return it and try another one.

I only know my snow blower is about 15 years old and it has a 10hp motor. I had to drop a bottom plate and take off the cover for the belts.I would replace all the belts and the auger cable. Make sure you check all parts positions before disassembling. The auger cable is a little on the large size but I believe that is so it can fit many units. Disconnect that cable 1st and then connect the replacement as you go along. Hope this helps.

I went to the Sears Parts direct web site to get the auger part number for the #536881501 snow blower. I was able to the find the auger part number #1501981 and simply googled that P/n and found not only the auger assemble available on different sites but found the rubber paddles were sold separately on ebay and bought a set. It will take a little labor to install them but, to me worth the effort since they were only about $32.00. Buying the rubber paddles works when the old rubber is worn, but won't help if you have a bent auger or have hit something.

Sorry, I don't know. I replaced the carburetor on my Toro snow blower by using my model # to cross reference. However, I did email a question to the supplier before I bought it and got an immediate helpful answer.

I have no way of knowing. I'm not a mechanic. I was barely able to get this one and get my snowblower working for the recent storm

If you can still open the box, take it to a lock & key place. They should be able to redo the lock and make you a new key!Best of luck!
