John Deere 826D Snow Blower Thrower Parts

The John Deere 826D was a staple in the John Deere snow blower lineup, manufactured primarily in the late 1980s and 1990s. It was powered by a Tecumseh engine, typically around 8 horsepower and 266cc displacement, with an electric start option available on some models for easier cold-weather starting. As a two-stage snow blower, the 826D utilizes a robust auger system to break up and collect snow, followed by an impeller to forcefully discharge it through the chute. The clearing width is 26 inches, with an intake height of approximately 20 inches, enabling it to handle significant snowfalls. The throwing distance could reach up to 30 feet, depending on snow conditions. The drive system features wheels with multiple forward and reverse speeds, allowing for controlled maneuverability. Chute controls are typically manual, offering adjustable direction. Some models included a headlight for improved visibility during early morning or evening snow removal. While heated grips weren't a standard feature, the 826D excelled in tackling medium to heavy snowfalls on driveways, walkways, and smaller commercial properties. It's a dependable machine for those who need a powerful, easy-to-use snow blower.
