By Toro do you mean a S-200? Mine is about the same age as the 312 tractor. My drive is 45X60, but I can get it done if the snow isn’t over 4″ and isn’t too wet. Any more than that and my neighbor comes over and plows me out. Its still good for getting what he cant, and what the state pushes back in. You can still get most of the parts to keep one going. Besides my old outboards. I get a lot of satisfaction using old stuff for what it was made for.
A "Boathouse Repair" is one thats done without having tools or the skills to do it properly.
