Ariens Gravely 932019-ST3520 Snow Blower Thrower Parts
The Ariens Gravely 932019 ST3520 is a powerful two-stage gas-powered snow blower popular for its robust performance and ability to tackle heavy snowfall. Manufactured in the late 1990s and early 2000s, it boasts a wide 35-inch clearing width, making it ideal for large driveways and commercial properties. Its durable construction and reliable engine made it a favorite among homeowners and snow removal professionals alike.
The Ariens Gravely 932019 ST3520 was a workhorse of a snow blower, produced primarily in the late 1990s and early 2000s. It was designed to handle demanding snow removal tasks in both residential and commercial settings. This model typically featured a Tecumseh engine, available in a 10 HP configuration, with some models offering electric start for added convenience. As a two-stage snow blower, it uses a robust auger system to break up snow and ice, feeding it into a high-speed impeller that discharges the snow through the chute. The ST3520's 35-inch clearing width and a generous intake height of around 20 inches allow it to process significant amounts of snow quickly. It could throw snow up to 40 feet. The drive system is wheel-based, offering multiple forward and reverse speeds for optimal control in varying snow conditions. Chute rotation is typically controlled manually via a crank handle. While a headlight wasn't always standard, many models were equipped with one for improved visibility. The ST3520 shines in areas with heavy snowfall and icy conditions, making it suitable for long driveways, parking lots, and other large areas requiring efficient snow removal. Though heated hand grips were not a standard feature for this model, its reliability and power outweighed this lack.
