John Deere 1128DE Snow Blower Thrower Parts

The John Deere 1128DE was a staple in John Deere's snow removal lineup for several years, offering a blend of power and user-friendliness. Production spanned the late 2000s and early 2010s. The heart of the 1128DE is typically a Briggs & Stratton or Tecumseh engine, ranging from 11 to 11.5 horsepower (check your specific model for exact specs), often with an optional electric start for easy cold-weather starts. As a two-stage snow blower, the 1128DE employs a robust auger system to break up snow and ice, feeding it back to a high-speed impeller. This impeller then forcefully discharges the snow through the chute. It boasts a clearing width of 28 inches and an intake height of around 21-23 inches, allowing it to handle significant snowfalls. Depending on snow conditions, it can throw snow up to 40-45 feet. The 1128DE features a wheel drive system with multiple forward and reverse speeds, providing excellent traction and maneuverability. Chute controls are typically manual, offering adjustable direction and deflector settings. While not all models included a headlight, many were equipped with one for enhanced visibility during early morning or late evening snow removal. Heated grips were not a standard feature on this model. The 1128DE is ideal for homeowners and professionals who need a reliable machine for clearing driveways, walkways, and parking areas in moderate to heavy snow conditions.
