Ariens Gravely ST732 Snow Blower Thrower Parts
The Ariens Gravely ST732 is a robust gas-powered two-stage snow blower popular for both residential and light commercial use. Known for its reliable performance, the ST732 typically features a clearing width of 32 inches. Its powerful engine and two-stage design made it capable of handling significant snowfall, efficiently clearing driveways and walkways.
The Ariens Gravely ST732 snow blower is a workhorse designed for tackling challenging snow removal tasks. While exact production years may vary, it was a popular model during the late 1990s and early 2000s. The ST732 is powered by a Tecumseh Snow King engine, typically around 7 HP or 318cc, providing ample power for its clearing capabilities. Many models feature an electric start option for easier cold-weather starts. As a two-stage snow blower, the ST732 utilizes a serrated auger system to break up snow and ice, feeding it into a high-speed impeller. This impeller then throws the snow through the discharge chute. The clearing width is 32 inches, and the intake height is generally around 20-21 inches, allowing it to handle moderate to deep snowfalls. Throwing distance can reach up to 30-35 feet depending on snow conditions. The ST732 typically features a wheel-drive system with multiple forward and reverse speeds, offering good maneuverability. The chute is usually controlled manually, allowing the operator to adjust the direction of the snow stream. While some models may have a headlight, heated grips are not a standard feature. This snow blower is ideally suited for homeowners with long driveways, as well as property managers and snow removal professionals dealing with medium-sized properties in areas with moderate to heavy snowfall.
