John Deere TRS22 Snow Blower Thrower Parts
The John Deere TRS22 is a popular two-stage gas-powered snow blower known for its reliable performance in residential snow removal. Manufactured in the late 1990s and early 2000s, this model features a 22-inch clearing width, making it ideal for homeowners with medium-sized driveways and walkways. Its robust design and ease of use contributed to its popularity among homeowners seeking a dependable snow removal solution.
The John Deere TRS22 snow thrower was introduced as a mid-range residential option, produced in the late 1990s and early 2000s. This model is typically powered by a Tecumseh engine, ranging from 5 to 6 horsepower. Many units feature an electric start option for easy starting in cold weather. As a two-stage snow blower, it utilizes an auger system to break up the snow and an impeller to throw it away from the clearing path. The TRS22 boasts a 22-inch clearing width and an intake height of around 16-20 inches, allowing it to handle moderate snowfall effectively. Depending on conditions, it can throw snow up to 30 feet. The wheel-drive system typically offers multiple forward and reverse speeds, providing good maneuverability. The chute is manually controlled, allowing users to direct the snow discharge. While not equipped with a headlight or heated grips, the TRS22 is well-suited for homeowners dealing with average snowfall amounts on paved surfaces. This snowblower is perfect for homeowners that experience moderate snow and need a machine that is easy to maneuver and store.

Maintenance Tips
- Regularly inspect the auger and impeller for damage. Replace worn or broken paddles and ensure the impeller is free from obstructions to maintain optimal throwing distance.
- Check and replace shear pins as needed. Shear pins protect the auger gearbox from damage when encountering hard objects. Carry spare shear pins and the appropriate tools for replacement.
- Adjust belt tension periodically. Proper belt tension ensures efficient power transfer from the engine to the auger and impeller. Loose belts can slip, reducing performance.
- Use fuel stabilizer during off-season storage. Fuel stabilizer prevents fuel degradation and buildup in the carburetor, ensuring easy starting when the snow season arrives.
