John Deere 1032D Snow Blower Thrower Parts
The John Deere 1032D is a robust two-stage snow blower manufactured in the late 1980s and early 1990s, powered by a reliable gas engine. With a 32-inch clearing width, this model became popular for its powerful snow-clearing performance and durability in demanding residential and light commercial environments. Its heavy-duty construction allowed it to tackle deep and heavy snow with ease.
The John Deere 1032D snow blower was a workhorse model produced in the late 1980s and early 1990s, designed for tackling significant snowfall. It's powered by a Tecumseh engine, typically ranging from 10 to 12 horsepower. While electric start was not standard, some models may have been retrofitted or available with it. This is a two-stage snow blower, meaning it utilizes an auger to break up the snow and then an impeller to throw it away from the cleared area. The serrated auger efficiently chews through packed snow and ice. The 1032D boasts a 32-inch clearing width and an intake height of around 20-21 inches, making it capable of handling substantial snow drifts. Its throwing distance can reach up to 30-40 feet, depending on snow conditions. The drive system features a wheel drive with multiple forward and reverse speeds, offering good maneuverability. Chute controls are typically manual, allowing for directional snow throwing. A headlight provides enhanced visibility during early morning or evening snow removal. While not equipped with heated grips, its durable construction and powerful engine made it a favorite for homeowners and property managers in areas with heavy snowfall. The 1032D is ideal for clearing large driveways, sidewalks, and parking areas.
