Ariens Gravely 921020-DELUXE-30 Snow Blower Thrower Parts
The Ariens Gravely 921020 DELUXE 30 is a popular two-stage gas-powered snow blower known for its reliability and robust snow-clearing performance. Manufactured during the late 2000s and early 2010s, this model features a 30-inch clearing width, making it suitable for medium to large-sized driveways and walkways. Homeowners and snow removal professionals appreciate its powerful engine and efficient snow throwing capabilities.
The Ariens Gravely 921020 DELUXE 30 is a durable and efficient snow blower designed for both residential and light commercial use. Production years typically fall between 2008 and 2014. It's powered by a Briggs & Stratton or LCT engine, typically ranging from 10-13 HP (approximately 291-342cc), with an electric start option for easier starting in cold conditions. As a two-stage snow blower, it employs an auger to break up the snow and an impeller to throw it away from the cleared area. The serrated steel augers are designed for efficient snow intake. The 30-inch clearing width and approximately 20-21 inch intake height allows it to handle substantial snowfall. Throwing distance is usually up to 50 feet, depending on snow conditions. This model features a wheel drive system with multiple forward and reverse speeds, providing good traction and maneuverability. Chute control is typically manual, allowing the operator to adjust the direction and angle of the snow discharge. Many models include a headlight for improved visibility during nighttime or early morning snow removal. While heated grips are not a standard feature, the DELUXE 30 is well-suited for handling moderate to heavy snowfalls on driveways, sidewalks, and other paved surfaces.

Maintenance Tips
- Inspect Auger and Impeller: Regularly check the auger blades and impeller for wear, damage, or looseness. Replace worn or damaged parts promptly to maintain optimal performance.
- Check and Replace Shear Pins: Shear pins protect the auger and gearbox from damage if a solid object is ingested. Inspect shear pins regularly and replace them immediately if broken.
- Use Fuel Stabilizer: Add fuel stabilizer to the gasoline before storing the snow blower for the off-season to prevent fuel degradation and carburetor issues.
- Adjust Skid Shoes: Adjust the skid shoes according to the surface you are clearing to prevent damage to the blower and the surface itself. Raising them slightly for gravel driveways is important.
