Husqvarna ST-131 Snow Blower Thrower Parts
The Husqvarna ST 131 is a popular single-stage snow thrower known for its compact size and ease of use, making it ideal for clearing smaller driveways and walkways. This gas-powered model, typically manufactured in recent years, features a 21-inch clearing width. Its lightweight design and efficient engine have made it a favorite among homeowners seeking a reliable and affordable snow removal solution.
The Husqvarna ST 131 is a single-stage snow thrower designed for homeowners needing a convenient solution for light to moderate snowfalls. While specific engine specifications may vary slightly by production year, the ST 131 typically features a Husqvarna or LCT gas engine around 136cc to 139cc. Electric start is generally not available on this model. As a single-stage unit, the auger directly contacts the ground, scooping up snow and throwing it through the chute. The clearing width is approximately 21 inches, with an intake height around 8-10 inches. Throwing distances can reach up to 30 feet, depending on snow conditions. The drive system is typically auger-assisted, meaning the rotating auger pulls the machine forward. Chute rotation is manual. While it lacks a headlight and heated grips, its simplicity and maneuverability make it well-suited for clearing decks, patios, and shorter driveways. This model is best suited for paved surfaces with relatively level ground and light to moderate snow accumulation (up to 8 inches). It is not ideal for gravel driveways or heavy, wet snow.
