ST832 parts and accessories
The Ariens Gravely ST832 is a robust two-stage snow blower, known for its reliability and power from its Briggs & Stratton engine. Typically manufactured in the 1990s and early 2000s, this gas-powered machine boasts a 32-inch clearing width, making it a popular choice for homeowners and property managers dealing with moderate to heavy snowfall. Its two-stage design allows it to handle deeper snow and throw it a considerable distance.
The Ariens Gravely ST832 snow blower was a workhorse in the Ariens Gravely lineup, produced throughout the 1990s and early 2000s. It was designed to be a dependable mid-sized machine capable of handling significant snowfalls. It features a Briggs & Stratton engine, typically around 8 HP or 250cc, with an optional electric start on some models for easier starting in cold weather. As a two-stage snow blower, the ST832 utilizes a robust auger system to break up the snow and then feeds it into a high-speed impeller. This design allows for a clearing width of 32 inches and an intake height around 20-21 inches, enabling it to tackle drifts and larger snow volumes. Depending on snow conditions, the ST832 can throw snow up to 30-40 feet. The wheel-driven system typically offers 6 forward speeds and 2 reverse speeds, providing good control in varying conditions. The chute is controlled manually, allowing for precise direction of the snow stream. While some models might lack features like a headlight or heated grips, the ST832 is exceptionally capable in moderate to heavy snowfalls on medium to large-sized driveways and properties. This model excels in conditions where single-stage units struggle due to depth or snow type.

Maintenance Tips
- Auger and Impeller Inspection: Regularly inspect the auger blades and impeller for damage or wear. Replace worn or damaged parts promptly to maintain optimal performance.
- Shear Pin Replacement: Always have spare shear pins on hand. Replace broken shear pins immediately to protect the auger gearbox from damage if the auger hits a solid object.
- Fuel Stabilizer: Add fuel stabilizer to the gasoline before storing the snow blower for the off-season. This prevents fuel degradation and ensures easier starting when you need it next winter.
