Husqvarna ST21E Snow Blower Thrower Parts
The Husqvarna ST21E is a popular two-stage gas-powered snow blower known for its reliable performance in residential snow removal. Manufactured during the early 2000s, this model offers a 21-inch clearing width and features an electric start for ease of use. Its compact size and powerful engine made it a favorite for homeowners dealing with moderate snowfall.
The Husqvarna ST21E snow blower, introduced in the early 2000s, quickly gained a reputation for its ease of use and effective snow clearing. It's powered by a Briggs & Stratton engine, typically around 5.5 HP or 190cc, and includes a convenient electric start option, eliminating the need for manual pull starting in cold weather. This is a two-stage snow blower; the auger gathers the snow and then the impeller throws it out of the chute. The auger system features serrated steel augers designed to break up compacted snow and ice. It has a clearing width of 21 inches and an intake height of around 12 inches, allowing it to handle moderate snowfalls with ease. The throwing distance can reach up to 30 feet, depending on snow conditions. The ST21E utilizes a wheel drive system with multiple forward speeds and a reverse gear, providing good maneuverability. The chute rotation is manually controlled, and it is equipped with a headlight for improved visibility in low-light conditions. While it doesn't have heated grips, its simple design and reliable engine make it ideal for homeowners in areas with moderate to heavy snowfall who need a compact and easy-to-use snow removal solution.

Maintenance Tips
- Inspect Auger and Impeller: Regularly check the auger blades and impeller for damage or wear. Replace worn parts to maintain optimal performance.
- Shear Pin Replacement: Keep spare shear pins on hand and replace them immediately if the auger stops turning due to a lodged object.
- Fuel Stabilization: Add fuel stabilizer to the gasoline before storing the snow blower for the off-season to prevent fuel degradation and carburetor issues.
- Skid Shoe Adjustment: Adjust the skid shoes to the appropriate height for your surface type (paved, gravel, etc.) to prevent damage to the scraper bar and surface.
