Ariens Gravely ST824 Snow Blower Thrower Parts
The Ariens Gravely ST824 is a popular two-stage snow blower that was manufactured for several years and known for its reliability. Powered by a gas engine, this model boasts a 24-inch clearing width, making it ideal for homeowners and light commercial use in areas with moderate snowfall. Its robust construction and user-friendly design contributed to its widespread appeal.
The Ariens Gravely ST824 snow blower gained prominence as a dependable option for tackling winter's snow removal challenges. While exact production years may vary depending on the specific sub-model, it was generally available throughout the late 1990s and early 2000s. Typically equipped with a Tecumseh 8 HP engine (verify exact HP on your unit), some models offered an optional electric start for added convenience. Its two-stage design incorporates a robust auger system to break up and gather snow, followed by a high-speed impeller that throws it away from the clearing path. The 24-inch clearing width and approximately 20-inch intake height allow it to handle substantial snowfalls. Depending on conditions, it could throw snow up to 30-40 feet. The wheel-drive system provides multiple forward and reverse speeds for maneuverability. Manual chute controls allow the operator to direct the snow stream. Some models featured a headlight for enhanced visibility during nighttime operation. The ST824 is well-suited for residential driveways, walkways, and smaller commercial properties experiencing moderate snow accumulation.

Maintenance Tips
- Inspect Auger and Impeller: Regularly check the auger blades and impeller for signs of wear, damage, or bending. Replace damaged components promptly to maintain optimal snow-throwing performance.
- Check and Replace Shear Pins: Inspect shear pins regularly, especially after hitting a hard object. Replace any broken or sheared pins with the correct replacement to protect the auger and gearbox.
- Adjust Skid Shoes: Adjust the skid shoes according to the surface you're clearing. Raise them for gravel or uneven surfaces and lower them for paved driveways to prevent damage to the scraper bar.
- Use Fuel Stabilizer: Add fuel stabilizer to the fuel tank before storing the snow blower for the off-season to prevent fuel degradation and carburetor issues.
