Husqvarna ST324 Snow Blower Thrower Parts
ST324 parts and accessories
The Husqvarna ST324 is a robust two-stage snow blower designed for both residential and commercial use, popular for its powerful snow clearing capabilities. Typically manufactured in the mid-2010s and beyond, this gas-powered machine features a 24-inch clearing width, making it ideal for handling moderate to heavy snowfall on driveways and walkways. Its two-stage design allows it to break up snow and ice efficiently and throw it a significant distance.
The Husqvarna ST324, produced from the mid-2010s onwards, quickly became a favorite among homeowners and snow removal professionals seeking a reliable and powerful snow-clearing solution. It is equipped with a robust engine, often a Briggs & Stratton or LCT (Liquid Combustion Technology) engine, typically ranging from 208cc to 250cc. Electric start is often an included feature for ease of use in cold weather. Being a two-stage snow blower, it employs an auger to break up the snow and then an impeller to throw it out through the discharge chute. The 24-inch clearing width and approximately 20-23 inch intake height allow it to handle significant snow depths. Expect a throwing distance of up to 30-40 feet, depending on snow conditions. The ST324 typically utilizes a wheel drive system with multiple forward and reverse speeds, offering good maneuverability. The chute rotation is generally controlled manually with a crank handle for directional snow discharge. A standard headlight ensures visibility during early morning or late evening snow clearing. While heated grips may not be standard on all models, some configurations do offer this comfort feature. The ST324 excels in handling moderate to heavy snowfall on medium to large driveways, sidewalks, and parking areas.

Maintenance Tips
- Regularly inspect the auger and impeller for damage or wear. Replace worn or damaged components promptly to maintain optimal performance. Check and replace shear pins as needed to prevent costly damage to the auger gearbox.
- Check belt tension and condition. Worn or loose belts can reduce throwing distance and overall performance. Replace belts showing signs of wear or cracking.
- Use fuel stabilizer during off-season storage. This prevents fuel from degrading and clogging the carburetor, ensuring easy starting next season. Change the oil annually per the engine manufacturer's recommendations.
- Adjust skid shoes as needed to prevent scraping on uneven surfaces. Proper skid shoe adjustment protects the scraper bar and ensures efficient snow removal.
