Husqvarna 824 Snow Blower Thrower Parts
824 parts and accessories
The Husqvarna 824 is a popular two-stage gas-powered snow blower known for its reliable performance and ease of use. Typically manufactured in the late 2000s and early 2010s, it features a 24-inch clearing width, making it suitable for medium-sized driveways and walkways. Its robust design and powerful engine made it a favorite among homeowners dealing with moderate to heavy snowfall.
The Husqvarna 824 snow blower was a staple in Husqvarna's lineup for several years, offering a blend of power and maneuverability. Production primarily occurred in the late 2000s and early 2010s. It typically featured a Tecumseh Snow King engine, usually around 8 horsepower and between 247cc and 250cc, often with an electric start option for easier cold-weather starts. As a two-stage snow blower, it utilizes an auger system to break up snow and feed it into a high-speed impeller that throws the snow. The clearing width is 24 inches, with an intake height of approximately 20-21 inches. Throwing distance is generally up to 30-35 feet, depending on the snow conditions. The drive system is wheel-driven, with multiple forward and reverse speeds to adjust to different snow depths and terrain. Chute control is typically manual, allowing the operator to adjust the direction and angle of the snow discharge. Many models also included a headlight for improved visibility during early morning or evening snow removal. While heated grips were not a standard feature, the 824 was well-suited for handling moderate to heavy snowfall on paved surfaces, making it ideal for residential driveways and walkways.

Maintenance Tips
- Inspect Auger and Impeller: Regularly check the auger blades and impeller for damage or wear. Replace worn or damaged parts promptly to maintain optimal performance.
- Shear Pin Replacement: Keep extra shear pins on hand. If the auger suddenly stops, it's likely a shear pin has broken. Replace it immediately following the manufacturer's instructions.
- Fuel System Maintenance: Use fuel stabilizer in the off-season to prevent fuel degradation. Consider draining the fuel tank completely before long-term storage to prevent carburetor issues.
