I got this old toro turf pro riding lawn mower I am needing parts for but I can't fine the model number or the serial number. Does anyone know where to look for this info on a mower at?
I have already look under the seat, but the sticker there is faded out and I can't read anything from it. I need to know if these numbers are put anywhere else on the thing.

Try under the seat.

My 7-year-old Toro self-propelled lawn mower's cord is off so the self-propelled part doesn't work, the engine will no longer start (it wasn't fully engaged last time I used it... it was running slow and loud with a lot of smoke and used a lot of gasoline). The last time I got my mower serviced it was over $100. The newer model Toro is $350-$400.

At this point should I just buy a new one with all those problems?

7 Years for a mower is great.

It sounds like it is time for a new mower.

If you buy the new mower will you get 7 Years out of it? That is hard to tell.

I have a 5hp Toro gas lawn mower, a few weeks ago the air filter (a paper rectangular one) and its plastic casing fell off in front of the mower and I ran over it, causing the bits to go all over the lawn. Needless to say I need to buy a new air filter and plastic casing for this.
Before this accident, I needed to take off the filter and spray inside behind it that metal part that has a little eyelit with Quickstart to get it going.
I have been operating the mower for about a month or so now without the air filter, always spraying Quickstart into that mystery part to get it going.
Last night I replaced the spark plug and bought a new air filter. The filter isn't on yet as I also need to find where to buy the plastic casing to fix it into place. I noticed that the mower will start if I tip it forward a bit so a bit of the gas or whatever is behind that mystery metal part where the air filter should be gets there then I pull the plug.
My questions are:
1. What type of damage have I done by operating without the air filter?
2. What is that metal thing behind the air filter? Again, the best description is a metal eyelit. Must have something to do with gas as making that wet starts the engine.
3. What does Quickstart do? I got this mower for free and the lady who gave it to me (I don't know her) said the problem with the mower starting was the air filter and I always needed to spray behind it with the Quickstart. What's the deal with this? Any idea?
Any help or suggestions would be awesome

Thanks

The metal piece behind the air filter is the choke. The damage you do by running without the air filter is internal to the cylinder and the piston. It is increased wear and then loss of compression. The need of the quick start says the unit has a priming problem. Take it to a service center and get a tune up. Good Luck.
