Most of the bearings Toro/Wheel Horse used on their blowers were common ones and easy to find if you know what to look for. One exception is two stage auger shaft bearings. Toro sells replacement bearings or you can substitute 1" cam locks. I'm thinking of the later two-stage, 1988 onward for the 300-400-500 series tractors. Was there an older two-stage? If yes, that might change everything.

Hey Geno, what parts are you having trouble finding? Maybe I have a source.

Mine's a 97. This is the second time it's ever been used so I should be good for awhile. My dealer in NJ told me to try to avoid them because of parts issues but the dealers sometimes don't know what people like you know. :)

Mine is a 94, but I think they are virtually identical. Toro says they carry most, but not all of the parts. I've ordered several parts now and had no trouble. Major parts are ridiculous in price, but so what else is new. Parts Tree also lists the parts. Great to hear yours is doing just fine so this is probably useless information.

I also found out that Toro uses many of the same parts on some of there walk-behind blowers. Those parts show up on Flea-Bay all the time. You just have to figure it all out.

Geno, I do love the way your blower works. You are encouraging me to get mine finished up for next season. My single stage did just fine so no worries.. Next winter I should have each of my 520H's ready for duty.
