Hi All,
Here is a couple tips for Duraforce engined L.B.'s. A Tecumseh primer bulb will fit the Duraforce shroud. The rubber used on the Tecumseh primer bulb is just better than the plastic one. Sorry don't have a part number, but it's the bulb used on small single stage snowblowers. All my silver series L.B's had the stock bolt securing the deck plate rusted solid, which I had to cut off to remove. A 5/16" carriage bolt (stainless is best) 1/2" to 3/4" long with a nylon wing nuts solves the problem nicely. I started using plastic "thread protector vinyl caps" to protect the zerk fittings on the rear axle (just saves time wiping off the fitting before re-greasing). Another item I've just recently discovered is the handle on early 10323's is shorter than the later 10323's, not sure when the change was made, something you may want to consider if you're tall or shorter.
Regards
Jeff
