The Ariens Gravely 924120 ST1024 is a robust gas-powered, two-stage snow blower known for its reliability and efficient snow removal. Typically manufactured in the late 1980s and early 1990s, this model features a 24-inch clearing width and is well-suited for homeowners and light commercial use. Its durable construction and powerful engine made it a popular choice for tackling moderate to heavy snowfall.
The Ariens Gravely 924120 ST1024 snow blower was a mainstay in the Ariens/Gravely lineup, produced primarily from the late 1980s into the early 1990s. This model is powered by a Tecumseh engine, commonly a 10 HP unit, designed for dependable performance in cold weather. Many models offered an optional electric start for easier starting in frigid conditions. As a two-stage snow blower, the 924120 ST1024 utilizes a serrated auger system to break up snow and ice, feeding it into a high-speed impeller that throws snow a considerable distance. It features a 24-inch clearing width and an intake height of around 20 inches, allowing it to handle substantial snowfalls. Depending on conditions, the throwing distance can reach up to 30-35 feet. The 924120 ST1024 uses a wheel drive system, typically offering 6 forward speeds and 2 reverse speeds, giving the operator control in varying snow depths and terrain. Chute rotation is manual, controlled by a crank or lever. Headlights were available as an optional accessory on some models. The 924120 ST1024 is ideal for homeowners with medium to large driveways, as well as property managers needing to clear sidewalks and smaller parking lots. It performs well in both dry and wet snow conditions.

Maintenance Tips
- Inspect Auger and Impeller: Regularly check the auger blades and impeller for wear, damage, or bending. Replace worn parts promptly to maintain optimal snow throwing performance.
- Check and Replace Shear Pins: Shear pins protect the auger and gearbox from damage. Inspect them frequently and replace any that are broken or weakened. Always use the correct shear pin type.
- Oil Changes and Fuel Stabilizer: Change the engine oil annually or as recommended by the engine manufacturer. Add fuel stabilizer to the fuel tank before storing the snow blower for the off-season to prevent fuel degradation and carburetor issues.
- Adjust Skid Shoes: Skid shoes protect the housing and allow you to adjust the height of the scraper blade. As the skid shoes wear down, you'll need to lower them. Adjust to allow the scraper bar to be close to the ground without scraping it.
