Husqvarna ST261E-96191003007 Snow Blower Thrower Parts

The Husqvarna ST261E, model number 96191003007, was a popular two-stage snow blower designed for residential use. While the exact production years are difficult to pinpoint without a precise date range, it's likely that this model was produced in the late 2000s or early 2010s. It is equipped with a [likely a Briggs & Stratton or LCT] engine, typically around 8-9 HP and approximately 205-250cc. It features an electric start option for convenient starting in cold weather. The ST261E employs a two-stage system. The first stage consists of a robust auger that breaks up the snow and feeds it into the impeller. The impeller, the second stage, then forcefully throws the snow out of the discharge chute. This model has a 26-inch clearing width and an intake height of approximately 20-23 inches, allowing it to handle significant snow depths. Throwing distance is typically up to 30-40 feet, depending on snow conditions. The drive system is wheel-driven, offering multiple forward and reverse speeds for enhanced maneuverability. The chute rotation is typically controlled manually via a crank lever, allowing the operator to direct the snow stream. A headlight provides increased visibility during early morning or evening snow removal. While heated grips were not a standard feature on this model, the ST261E is well-suited for handling moderate to heavy snowfalls on driveways, sidewalks, and other residential areas.
