Husqvarna 5524STE Snow Blower Thrower Parts
The Husqvarna 5524STE is a robust two-stage snow blower manufactured for several years, popular for its reliability and performance in handling moderate to heavy snowfall. Powered by a gasoline engine and featuring a 24-inch clearing width, this model offers an efficient solution for both residential and commercial snow removal. Its two-stage design allows it to break up and throw snow further than single-stage models.
The Husqvarna 5524STE snow blower was a popular model for homeowners and professionals seeking a balance of power and maneuverability. While the exact production years may vary, it was a staple in Husqvarna's lineup for a significant period. Typically powered by a Briggs & Stratton or LCT gasoline engine ranging from 5.5 to 6.5 HP (approximately 205cc), the 5524STE often featured an electric start option for easy starting in cold weather. Being a two-stage snow blower, it employs an auger to break up the snow and an impeller to throw it out the chute, providing greater throwing distance. The clearing width is 24 inches, and the intake height is around 20-23 inches, enabling it to handle substantial snow depths. Throwing distances could reach up to 30-40 feet depending on snow conditions. The drive system is wheel-based, typically offering multiple forward speeds (usually 5-6) and reverse speeds (usually 1-2) for enhanced control. Chute rotation is usually controlled manually. A headlight is standard on this model for increased visibility during early morning or evening snow removal. While not always present, some models may feature heated hand grips. The 5524STE is ideally suited for paved driveways, sidewalks, and other surfaces where snow needs to be cleared efficiently and effectively.

Maintenance Tips
- Regularly inspect the auger and impeller for damage or wear. Replace worn or damaged parts to maintain optimal performance.
- Check and replace shear pins as needed. These protect the auger gearbox from damage if it encounters a solid object. Always use the correct shear pins specified for the 5524STE.
- Use fuel stabilizer during off-season storage. This prevents fuel from degrading and causing starting problems when you need the snow blower again. Drain the carburetor bowl, as well.
