Ariens Gravely 920400-SNO-TEK-24 Snow Blower Thrower Parts
The Ariens Gravely 920400 SNO-TEK 24, popular for residential snow removal, offered a balance of power and maneuverability. This gas-powered snow blower, typically manufactured in the late 2000s and early 2010s, featured a 24-inch clearing width, making it suitable for moderate snowfall on driveways and walkways. Its two-stage design allowed it to handle deeper snow than single-stage models.
The Ariens Gravely 920400 SNO-TEK 24 was a popular choice for homeowners seeking a reliable and affordable snow-clearing solution. Produced during the late 2000s and early 2010s, this model was equipped with a Briggs & Stratton engine, generally around 6.5 HP (approximately 205cc), offering ample power for its size. Some models may have had an electric start option for easier starting in cold weather. Its two-stage design incorporated an auger to break up the snow and an impeller to throw it away from the cleared path. With a 24-inch clearing width and an intake height of approximately 20 inches, the SNO-TEK 24 could handle moderate snowfalls with ease. Throwing distances varied but generally reached up to 30-35 feet. The wheel-drive system typically included multiple forward speeds and a reverse speed, providing good control and maneuverability. The chute was usually controlled manually, allowing the operator to direct the snow stream. While it didn't typically have heated grips, some models featured a headlight for improved visibility in low-light conditions. The 920400 SNO-TEK 24 was ideal for homeowners dealing with moderate snow accumulations on driveways, sidewalks, and patios.

Maintenance Tips
- Inspect the auger and impeller regularly: Look for signs of wear, damage, or bending. Replace worn parts promptly to maintain optimal performance.
- Check shear pins frequently: Shear pins protect the auger gearbox. Replace broken shear pins with the correct type and size to prevent costly damage.
- Use fuel stabilizer during off-season storage: Add fuel stabilizer to the gas tank before storing the snow blower to prevent fuel degradation and carburetor issues.
- Adjust skid shoes as needed: Adjust the skid shoes to match the surface you're clearing. Raise them for gravel or uneven surfaces and lower them for paved surfaces.
