Ariens Gravely 938008-SS322E Snow Blower Thrower Parts
The Ariens Gravely 938008 SS322E snow blower, a popular model in the Ariens single-stage lineup, offers a convenient solution for residential snow removal. Featuring a gas-powered engine and a 22-inch clearing width, this single-stage snow thrower was known for its compact size and ease of use during its production run.
The Ariens Gravely 938008 SS322E is a single-stage snow thrower designed for homeowners with smaller driveways and walkways. While exact production years can vary, this model falls within a range of Ariens single-stage snow blowers that prioritize maneuverability and ease of use. Typically, it's equipped with a 208cc Ariens gas engine offering ample power for its size; electric start options were not a standard feature on the SS322E. As a single-stage, it utilizes a rubber-edged auger that directly contacts the ground, scooping up snow and throwing it through the discharge chute. It has a 22-inch clearing width and a smaller intake height, making it best suited for snowfalls under 8 inches. Throwing distance can reach up to 25-30 feet depending on snow conditions. The SS322E uses an auger-propelled drive system, meaning the auger rotation pulls the machine forward. Chute rotation is typically manual, requiring the operator to adjust it directly. This model typically does not feature a headlight or heated handgrips. It excels in clearing smooth surfaces like paved driveways and sidewalks of light to moderate snow.

Maintenance Tips

- Replace shear pins as needed: Inspect shear pins after any significant impact. Use only the manufacturer-recommended shear pins to prevent damage to the auger and drivetrain.
