The Ariens Gravely 926036 ST1028DLE, a robust gas-powered snow blower, was a popular choice for tackling moderate to heavy snowfall in residential and commercial settings.

The Ariens Gravely 926036 ST1028DLE snow blower was a workhorse designed for demanding snow removal tasks. Production spanned primarily the late 1990s and early 2000s. Powering this machine is usually a Tecumseh 10 HP engine, offering ample power to tackle deep snow. Many models included an electric start option for easy starting in cold weather. As a two-stage snow blower, it utilizes a serrated auger to break up snow and ice, feeding it into a high-speed impeller that throws snow a considerable distance. The 28-inch clearing width and approximately 20-inch intake height allowed for efficient snow removal along sidewalks and driveways. This model was capable of throwing snow up to 40 feet, depending on conditions. The drive system is wheel-driven, featuring multiple forward and reverse speeds to provide excellent control. Chute rotation is manually controlled, allowing the operator to direct the snow stream. A headlight enhances visibility during early morning or late evening snow removal. While not all models featured heated grips, they were an available option. The ST1028DLE is ideally suited for areas with moderate to heavy snowfall and is capable of handling packed or drifted snow effectively.

Maintenance Tips
- Inspect Auger and Impeller: Regularly check the auger blades and impeller for any signs of damage, wear, or bending. Replace damaged parts promptly to maintain optimal performance.
- Check and Replace Shear Pins: Shear pins protect the auger gearbox. Inspect them frequently and replace them immediately if broken to prevent costly damage.
- 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 to match the surface you are clearing. Raise them for gravel driveways and lower them for paved surfaces to prevent damage to the blower and the ground.
