Snow Blower
Toro SnowMaster 824 QXE
4-Stroke
This record is scoped to the Toro SnowMaster 824 QXE, model 36003 with serial numbers 414300000 and up: a 24-inch single-stage snow blower with self-propelled drive and a Toro 252cc four-cycle engine with electric and recoil start. Toro's parts catalog 3463-884 lists separate poly-V belts for the rotor and the transmission, plus the scraper, skids, center paddles, spark plug, primer kit, and carburetor service kit shown here. Toro lists Champion RN9YC or NGK BPR6ES at a .030-inch gap. Earlier 36003 serial ranges have their own catalogs, so read the serial decal first.

Tune-Up Kit
Common service bundle: spark plug, carburetor, primer bulb.
Maintenance Interval
Inspect filters and fuel lines each season, replace spark plugs during annual service, and service carb/fuel-system parts when starting or idle symptoms appear.
Before You Buy
- Confirm the full model is Toro SnowMaster 824 QXE, not just the family name.
- Check serial number, production date, and regional variant before ordering.
- Match the old OEM number stamped on the removed part when available.
- Compare dimensions, plug gap, thread, fuel line diameter, or chain pitch/gauge where applicable.
Common Mistakes
- Ordering from a family listing without checking the exact sub-model.
- Buying a kit that includes the headline part but wrong gaskets, lines, or bulb size.
- Choosing the wrong carburetor revision when multiple versions were used.
- Installing the correct plug number with the wrong gap.

Replacement Options
Best OEM equivalent
Start with OEM references 81-3250, 131-5967, 131-5968, 130-9628 and match the removed part before choosing a listing.
Named part options
Cross-check named parts such as Champion RN9YC (spark plug), Toro 131-5967 (rotor belt), Toro 131-5968 (drive belt) against the OEM number, identity label, and dimensions.
Best if replacing fuel system
Compare the carburetor, primer bulb together so line routing, bulb size, filter style, and carburetor connections match.
Best budget kit
Use kit listings only when every included part matches this model page; cheap kits often mix correct headline parts with wrong bulbs, lines, or gaskets.
