The Ariens Gravely 926042 PRO 28 TRACK snow blower, produced likely in the early to mid-2000s, was designed to tackle demanding snow removal tasks. It typically features a Tecumseh or Briggs & Stratton gasoline engine, ranging from 9 to 11 HP (291cc - 342cc), often with an optional electric start for easy starting in cold weather. As a two-stage snow blower, it employs a robust auger system to break up the snow and an impeller to forcefully discharge it. The machine boasts a 28-inch clearing width and an intake height of around 20-21 inches, enabling it to handle significant snowfalls. Throwing distances can reach up to 40-50 feet, depending on snow conditions. The tracked drive system offers exceptional traction on icy or uneven surfaces, with multiple forward and reverse speeds for optimal control. Chute rotation is typically controlled manually, allowing for precise snow placement. Most models include a headlight for enhanced visibility during nighttime or early morning snow removal. While heated grips were not standard on all models from this era, some models may have been upgraded with aftermarket heated grips. This model is ideal for clearing large driveways, sidewalks, and commercial properties in areas with heavy, wet, or icy snow.

Maintenance Tips
- Inspect the auger and impeller regularly for wear and damage. Replace worn or damaged parts promptly to maintain optimal performance.
- Check and replace shear pins as needed. Shear pins protect the auger gearbox from damage caused by obstructions.
- Use fuel stabilizer in the off-season to prevent fuel degradation and ensure easy starting next season. Drain the carburetor if storing for extended periods.
- Adjust the skid shoes to maintain proper clearance between the scraper bar and the ground. This prevents premature wear of the scraper bar and optimizes snow removal efficiency.
