Ariens Gravely 926320-PRO28 Snow Blower Thrower Parts
The Ariens Gravely 926320 PRO28 is a heavy-duty, gas-powered two-stage snow blower designed for tackling demanding snow removal tasks. Manufactured for several years, the PRO28 boasts a robust engine and a wide 28-inch clearing path, making it a popular choice for both residential and commercial users seeking reliable performance in challenging winter conditions. Its powerful auger and impeller system can efficiently handle heavy, wet snow.
The Ariens Gravely 926320 PRO28 represents a blend of power and user-friendly design in the snow blower market. While the exact production years may vary, this model was a staple for those requiring serious snow-clearing capabilities. Typically powered by a premium gas engine, often a Briggs & Stratton or similar brand, the PRO28 delivers substantial horsepower (around 10-13 HP), with some versions offering an electric start option for easy starting in cold weather. As a two-stage snow blower, it utilizes an auger to break up the snow and then an impeller to throw it a considerable distance – often up to 40 feet or more, depending on snow conditions. The 28-inch clearing width allows for efficient snow removal, while the intake height of around 20-21 inches can handle deeper snow drifts. The drive system typically features a robust wheel drive with multiple forward and reverse speeds, providing excellent traction and maneuverability. Chute control is usually manual, allowing for precise snow placement. Features often include a headlight for improved visibility and optional heated hand grips for added comfort. This model is ideal for homeowners with large driveways, property managers responsible for clearing sidewalks and parking lots, and snow removal professionals dealing with heavy snowfall.

Maintenance Tips
- Regularly inspect the auger and impeller for any signs of damage or wear. Replace worn paddles or blades to maintain optimal performance.
- Check and replace shear pins as needed. These protect the auger gearbox from damage if it encounters a hard object.
- Ensure proper belt tension on the auger and impeller belts. Loose belts can reduce throwing distance and increase wear.
- Change the engine oil according to the manufacturer's recommendations. Use a high-quality oil formulated for cold weather conditions. Add fuel stabilizer to the fuel tank before storing the snow blower for the off-season to prevent fuel degradation.
- Adjust the skid shoes to the appropriate height for your surface. This will protect the scraper bar and prevent damage to your driveway or sidewalk.
