Ariens Gravely 920002-ST724E Snow Blower Thrower Parts
The Ariens Gravely 920002 ST724E is a robust two-stage snow blower, primarily manufactured in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Powered by a gasoline engine, it features a 24-inch clearing width, making it a popular choice for homeowners and property managers needing reliable snow removal. Its durable construction and ease of use made it a sought-after model for tackling moderate to heavy snowfall.
The Ariens Gravely 920002 ST724E snow blower was a mainstay in Ariens' lineup for several years, offering a dependable solution for snow removal. Production spanned from the late 1990s into the early 2000s. These models were typically equipped with a Tecumseh Snow King engine, often around 7 HP, providing ample power for tackling snow. Many models included an electric start option for convenient starting in cold weather. As a two-stage snow blower, the ST724E utilizes an auger to break up and gather snow, while the impeller then discharges it through the chute. The 24-inch clearing width and a typical intake height of around 20 inches allows it to handle significant snowfall. Throwing distances could reach up to 30-35 feet, depending on snow conditions. The drive system is wheel-based, offering multiple forward and reverse speeds for enhanced maneuverability. Chute control is typically manual, allowing the operator to adjust the direction of the snow stream. While some models had a headlight, heated grips were not a standard feature on this model. The Ariens Gravely 920002 ST724E is well-suited for handling moderate to heavy snowfalls on driveways, sidewalks, and other residential or commercial properties.
