The Ariens Gravely 921019 DELUXE 24 is a popular two-stage gas-powered snow blower known for its reliability and performance in residential snow removal. Manufactured in the early to mid 2000s, this model features a 24-inch clearing width, making it ideal for driveways and walkways. Its robust engine and durable construction made it a favorite among homeowners facing moderate to heavy snowfall.
The Ariens Gravely 921019 DELUXE 24 snow blower was a mainstay in Ariens' lineup for several years, offering a balance of power and maneuverability. This model is typically powered by a Tecumseh Snow King engine, commonly offering around 5-6 HP. An electric start option was available on some models, providing added convenience in cold weather. As a two-stage snow blower, the 921019 DELUXE 24 utilizes a serrated steel auger to break up snow and ice, feeding it into a high-speed impeller that discharges the snow through the chute. Its 24-inch clearing width and approximately 20-inch intake height allow it to handle significant snowfall. It boasts a throwing distance of up to 30-40 feet, depending on snow conditions. The drive system is typically wheel-driven, with multiple forward and reverse speeds, providing good traction and control. The chute rotation is manually operated, allowing the operator to direct the snow stream where needed. Many models include a headlight for increased visibility during early morning or evening snow removal. While heated grips were not typically standard on this model, its robust design and powerful engine made it well-suited for tackling moderate to heavy snowfalls on driveways, sidewalks, and other residential areas. This snowblower works well in most snow conditions, from light and fluffy to wet and heavy snow.

Maintenance Tips
- Inspect Auger and Impeller: Regularly check the auger and impeller for wear, damage, or obstructions. Replace worn or damaged parts promptly to maintain optimal performance.
- Shear Pins: Always have spare shear pins on hand. Replace broken shear pins immediately to prevent damage to the auger gearbox. Use only the correct replacement shear pins specified by Ariens/Gravely.
- Oil Changes and Fuel Stabilizer: Change the engine oil annually or as recommended in the owner's manual. Add fuel stabilizer to the fuel tank before storing the snow blower for the off-season to prevent fuel degradation.
- Skid Shoe Adjustment: Adjust the skid shoes based on the surface you are clearing. Raise them for gravel or uneven surfaces to prevent damage to the blower and lower them for paved surfaces to achieve a clean snow removal.
