Ariens Gravely 932035-ST724 Snow Blower Thrower Parts
The Ariens Gravely 932035 ST724 is a robust two-stage gas-powered snow blower popular for both residential and light commercial use. This model, primarily manufactured in the early 2000s, boasts a 24-inch clearing width, making it efficient for clearing driveways and walkways. Known for its durability and reliable performance, the ST724 remains a favorite among homeowners and snow removal professionals alike.
The Ariens Gravely 932035 ST724 snow blower, produced in the early 2000s, was designed for tackling moderate to heavy snowfall. It's powered by a Tecumseh Snow King engine, typically ranging from 7 to 8 horsepower (check the specific engine model on your unit for precise specifications). An electric start option was available on some models, providing convenient starting in cold weather. As a two-stage snow blower, the ST724 utilizes a serrated auger system to break up snow, followed by an impeller that throws the snow through the discharge chute. The clearing width is 24 inches, with an intake height of approximately 20 inches, allowing it to handle deeper snowfalls. Under ideal conditions, throwing distances can reach up to 30-35 feet. The drive system is wheel-driven, offering multiple forward and reverse speeds to adapt to varying snow conditions. Chute controls are typically manual, allowing users to direct the snow stream. A headlight is often included for improved visibility during nighttime or early morning snow removal. While heated grips were not standard on this model, its robust construction and powerful engine made it suitable for a wide range of snow conditions, ideal for homeowners, property managers, and light commercial snow removal.

Maintenance Tips
- Inspect the Auger and Impeller: Regularly check the auger blades and impeller for any signs of wear, damage, or bending. Replace damaged parts immediately to maintain optimal performance.
- Replace Shear Pins: Always keep spare shear pins on hand. Replace them immediately if the auger stops abruptly, indicating a shear pin failure. Using the correct shear pins is crucial to protect the snow blower's gearbox.
- Check Belt Tension: Inspect the belts (auger and drive) for proper tension and wear. Loose or worn belts can significantly reduce the snow blower's performance. Replace belts as needed.
- Use Fuel Stabilizer: Add fuel stabilizer to the gasoline before storing the snow blower for the off-season. This prevents fuel degradation and ensures easy starting next season.
