The Ariens Gravely 921001 ST824E is a robust two-stage gas-powered snow blower, primarily manufactured in the early 2000s. Featuring a 24-inch clearing width, this model gained popularity for its reliable performance in handling moderate to heavy snowfall in both residential and commercial settings. It offered a good balance of power and maneuverability for efficient snow removal.
The Ariens Gravely 921001 ST824E snow blower was a popular model in the Ariens/Gravely lineup, produced in the early 2000s. It's powered by a Tecumseh Snow King engine, typically around 8 HP and 245cc. Many models featured an electric start option for convenient starting in cold weather. Being a two-stage snow blower, it utilizes an auger to break up the snow and an impeller to throw it. The auger is a toothed steel design for effective snow intake. It has a 24-inch clearing width and approximately a 20-inch intake height. Throwing distance can reach up to 30-35 feet depending on snow conditions. The drive system is wheel-driven, typically with 6 forward speeds and 2 reverse speeds, providing good control in various snow conditions. Chute control is typically manual, allowing the operator to direct the snow discharge. While some units may have offered a headlight, heated grips were not a standard feature on this model. The ST824E is well-suited for handling moderate to heavy snowfall on driveways, walkways, and smaller parking lots. Its two-stage design makes it capable of processing heavier, wetter snow than single-stage models.

Maintenance Tips
- Inspect Auger and Impeller: Regularly check the auger blades and impeller for wear, damage, or bending. Replace damaged parts promptly to maintain optimal performance.
- Replace Shear Pins: Always use the correct shear pins specified for your model. Keep spares on hand. Incorrect shear pins can damage the auger gearbox.
- Use Fuel Stabilizer: Add fuel stabilizer to the gasoline, especially before storing the snow blower for the off-season. This prevents fuel degradation and carburetor issues.
- Check Skid Shoe Adjustment: Adjust the skid shoes to ensure proper clearance between the scraper bar and the ground. This prevents damage to the scraper bar and allows for efficient snow removal on different surfaces.
