Ariens Gravely 932048-ST5520 Snow Blower Thrower Parts

The Ariens Gravely 932048 ST5520 snow thrower was a popular model aimed at homeowners and light-duty commercial use, with production years falling primarily in the late 1990s and early 2000s. It typically features a Tecumseh engine, likely around 5.5 HP, although specifications can vary based on the exact production year. Some versions may have had an optional electric start. The ST5520 is a two-stage snow thrower, meaning it uses an auger to break up and collect the snow, followed by an impeller to throw it out the chute. The auger system is typically a toothed steel design for effective snow ingestion. It boasts a 20-inch clearing width and an intake height around 12-16 inches, depending on the model year. While exact throwing distances varied based on snow conditions and engine performance, it could typically throw snow up to 20-25 feet. The drive system is typically wheel-driven, offering multiple forward and reverse speeds. Chute controls are generally manual, allowing the operator to adjust the direction and angle of the snow stream. While not always standard, some models came equipped with a headlight for improved visibility during early morning or evening snow removal. Heated grips were not a typical feature on this model. It's ideally suited for handling moderate to heavy snowfall on driveways, sidewalks, and smaller parking areas. Its two-stage design allows it to handle heavier, wetter snow more effectively than single-stage models.
