Toro POWER CLEAR 621 Snow thrower paddle, scraper bar and belt set/kit, 99-9313, 133-5585, 108-4921

This is the second set I have installed on this snow blower over the years. Easy to put on.

Toro 621 snow blower.Remove old parts before ordering to insure that nuts and bolts can be reused . May have to order new hardware kit also.

My snowblower is 9 years old and the paddles were worn down to the indicator holes. I had never replaced the belt either. I ordered this set so I would be prepared when something failed when we had a ton of snow in the driveway. We had a heavy snowfall and I was pushing my 2011 Toro 421QR pretty hard into the waist deep stuff at the end of the driveway and it stopped throwing snow. I pulled it into the garage and installed these new parts and it is throwing snow like it did when it was new. I had forgotten how far it used to throw snow. I will order another set so I am prepared for next time. I kind of wish I had ordered the fastener kit also. Some of my fasteners were rusty, but they still work. The fasteners in my machine are mostly specialty fasteners that you won't find in a hardware store. If one falls out and gets launched into the snow bank, I will be mad at myself.

Our 12 year old Toro 221Q had all original parts on it and was due for some TLC (probably used 25 times total). This is a great basic kit. Everything is OEM and installed easily within an hour. No hardware is included but it wasn't an issue to reuse the originals. Make sure to install the paddles with the stitching towards the back and don't forget to remove/reuse the metal sleeves in the old paddles. Seeing the new paddles, belt, and scraper makes you realize how badly worn the old ones are. I'll be in good shape for the next snow storm!

I like my snowblower because it starts in the cold weather. I never have used the electric start. Depending on the consistency of the snow it throws well. Wet snow 5 or 6 feet. Dry snow 15 feet. I am very maintenance conscious so every two years I put a new belt, scraper bar and paddles on my Toro 621e. I still struggle and can’t believe Toro makes it so non- intuitive. For instance the nut/bolts that secure the scraper bar are two different sizes. There is no clearance on the drive side of the auger to access the paddle bolts. It requires a T27 Torx on the inside and 11mm wrench on the outer. A needle nose plier is necessary and I use a power ratchet with the T27 bit. Removing the auger shaft and assembly can make access easier but far more time consuming. When changing the scraper bar tipping the machine backwards the oil spills out a breather. So be prepared to add oil or drain and refill for an oil change. If you don’t spill it out the breather you will spill oil because there is a black plate below the drain plug that obscures the drain. The price of $60 for the kit was awesome.

Was easy to remove old and install the new. Looking back, I would get the new bolts too but the old bolts/screws ones worked just as good. This was the first time in 6 years I changed these out and it really needed it 2 or 3 years earlier. The old paddles were worn down over 1/4" and were leaving a lot of snow on the driveway. We opted to change out the Oil, spark plug & breaking belt at the same time; all this took about 2 hours at a relaxing pace.

I just installed the components. Most were straight forward but recommend one look at a instructional video when it comes to the paddles as you do not get install directions with the products. There is one spot by the belt housing that is difficult to fasten. The process is pretty straight forward but the execution of actually fastening the bolt in this one spot is a bit challenging. There is just no room to apply the nut.The paddles looked thinner than the ones that I removed that came with the snowblower. I put them side to side and they appeared thinner so we will see how long they last. The drive belt and scraper bar looked identical.

I paid for shipping and product arrived immediately yeah. Just thought that new nuts and bolts could have been included with blade and scraper.
