Husqvarna 1130STC Snow Blower Thrower Parts
The Husqvarna 1130STC is a popular gas-powered two-stage snow thrower known for its reliability and performance in moderate to heavy snow conditions. Manufactured in the late 2000s and early 2010s, it features a 30-inch clearing width, making it ideal for medium to large driveways and walkways. Its robust construction and user-friendly design contributed to its widespread adoption by both homeowners and snow removal professionals.
The Husqvarna 1130STC was a workhorse in the Husqvarna lineup, produced from approximately 2007 to 2012. Powering this snow thrower is a Briggs & Stratton Snow Series engine, typically around 11.5 HP (approximately 305cc), often equipped with an electric start option for easy starting in cold weather. As a two-stage snow blower, it utilizes a robust auger system to break up snow and then an impeller to powerfully throw it away. The 1130STC offers a substantial 30-inch clearing width and an intake height of around 23 inches, allowing it to tackle significant snowfalls. The throwing distance can reach up to 40 feet, depending on the snow conditions. The drive system is wheel-driven, offering multiple forward and reverse speeds for maneuverability. Chute controls are typically manual, allowing the operator to adjust the throwing direction. Many models also feature a headlight for improved visibility during nighttime or early morning snow removal. While heated grips were not a standard feature, some users have added aftermarket solutions. The Husqvarna 1130STC is well-suited for handling moderate to heavy snowfalls on paved surfaces like driveways, sidewalks, and parking lots.

Maintenance Tips
- Regularly inspect the auger and impeller for any signs of wear or damage. Replace damaged parts promptly to maintain optimal performance and prevent further issues.
- Always use the correct shear pins for the auger. Keep spares on hand, as they are designed to break and protect the gearbox from damage if the auger encounters a solid object.
- Check the belt tension periodically and adjust as needed. Loose belts can lead to reduced performance and premature wear. Replace worn belts promptly.
- Change the engine oil according to the manufacturer's recommendations. Use the correct type of oil and follow the recommended oil change intervals for optimal engine life. Add fuel stabilizer to the fuel tank during off-season storage to prevent fuel degradation and ensure easy starting next season.
