Husqvarna 1130ST Snow Blower Thrower Parts
The Husqvarna 1130ST is a robust two-stage snow thrower, primarily manufactured in the mid-2000s. Powered by a gas engine, it boasts a 30-inch clearing width, making it well-suited for medium to large driveways and walkways. This model gained popularity for its reliable performance and ability to handle heavy, wet snow conditions common in residential and commercial settings.
The Husqvarna 1130ST was a popular model in Husqvarna's snow blower lineup, manufactured during the mid-2000s. It's powered by a Tecumseh engine, typically around 11.5 HP or 342cc, providing ample power for demanding snow removal tasks. Some models featured an electric start option for easier starting in cold weather. As a two-stage snow blower, the 1130ST utilizes a robust auger system to break up snow and ice, feeding it into a high-speed impeller. This impeller then forcefully ejects the snow through the discharge chute. The 30-inch clearing width and approximately 23-inch intake height allows it to handle significant snowfalls. Depending on snow conditions, the throwing distance is typically up to 40 feet. The 1130ST features a wheel drive system with multiple forward and reverse speeds, providing good traction and maneuverability. The chute rotation is manually controlled, while some models offer a remote deflector adjustment. It is not equipped with heated hand grips or headlight. Ideal for homeowners and property managers dealing with moderate to heavy snowfall on paved surfaces, the 1130ST excels in tackling packed snow and ice. It's suitable for driveways, walkways, and parking areas.

Maintenance Tips
- Inspect Auger and Impeller: Regularly check the auger blades and impeller for signs of wear, damage, or bending. Replace worn or damaged components to maintain optimal performance.
- Shear Pins: Always use the correct shear pins and keep spares on hand. Shear pins are designed to break under excessive stress, protecting the auger gearbox from damage.
- Belt Tension: Periodically inspect the drive and auger belts for proper tension. Adjust or replace worn belts to ensure efficient power transfer.
- 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.
