Ariens Gravely 921024-DELUXE-24 Snow Blower Thrower Parts
The Ariens Gravely 921024 DELUXE 24 is a popular two-stage gas-powered snow thrower known for its reliable performance in residential snow removal. Featuring a 24-inch clearing width, it effectively handles moderate to heavy snowfall. This model was particularly favored for its balance of power, maneuverability, and user-friendly design.
The Ariens Gravely 921024 DELUXE 24 snow thrower is a workhorse designed for tackling demanding winter conditions. While the exact production years can vary depending on specific model sub-variants, it was a prominent model within the Ariens/Gravely lineup during its time. The engine is typically a Briggs & Stratton or Ariens AX series engine, producing around 8.5-9.5 HP, offering ample power for its clearing width. Electric start was often an available option, adding convenience in cold weather. As a two-stage snow blower, the 921024 utilizes a robust auger system to break up snow and ice, feeding it into a high-speed impeller that then throws the snow through the chute. The 24-inch clearing width and approximately 20-inch intake height allow it to handle substantial snowfalls. Expect a throwing distance of up to 40 feet, depending on snow conditions. Most models feature a wheel drive system with multiple forward and reverse speeds, providing excellent traction and control. The chute rotation is usually manual, controlled via a crank or lever. Many versions also include a headlight for improved visibility during early morning or evening snow removal. This model is ideal for homeowners and property managers dealing with medium to large driveways and sidewalks, handling everything from light powder to heavier, wetter snow.

Maintenance Tips
- Regularly inspect the auger and impeller for any signs of damage or wear. Replace worn parts promptly to maintain optimal performance.
- Check and replace shear pins as needed. These are designed to break under excessive stress to protect the auger gearbox.
- Ensure proper belt tension on the auger and impeller drive belts. Loose belts can lead to reduced throwing distance and eventual belt failure.
- Change the engine oil at the recommended intervals (typically annually or every 25 hours of use) to keep the engine running smoothly. Use fuel stabilizer during off-season storage to prevent fuel degradation and carburetor issues.
- Adjust the skid shoes to the appropriate height for your surface to prevent damage to the snow blower and the ground.
