John Deere TRS24 Snow Blower Thrower Parts
The John Deere TRS24 is a robust gas-powered, two-stage snow blower popular for its reliability and ease of use in residential snow removal. Primarily manufactured in the late 1990s and early 2000s, the TRS24 features a 24-inch clearing width, making it ideal for tackling moderate to heavy snowfall on driveways and walkways. Its durable construction and efficient snow-throwing capabilities made it a favorite among homeowners.
The John Deere TRS24 snow blower was a popular model in John Deere's residential snow removal lineup, manufactured primarily from the late 1990s into the early 2000s. It's powered by a Tecumseh engine, typically ranging from 5 to 6 horsepower, offering sufficient power for most residential snow-clearing tasks. An electric start option was available on some models, providing convenient starting in cold weather. As a two-stage snow blower, the TRS24 utilizes an auger to break up and gather snow, then an impeller to forcefully discharge it through the chute. The serrated steel auger is designed to efficiently chew through packed snow and ice. The 24-inch clearing width allows for efficient snow removal on driveways and walkways, while the intake height of approximately 20 inches enables it to handle moderate snow drifts. The TRS24 can throw snow up to 30 feet, depending on snow conditions. It features a wheel-drive system with multiple forward and reverse speeds, allowing for adjustable pace and maneuverability. The chute rotation is manually controlled, allowing the operator to direct the snow stream. While the TRS24 does not have a headlight or heated grips, its robust design and powerful engine make it well-suited for handling moderate to heavy snowfall on residential properties. It is ideal for homeowners with medium-sized driveways and walkways experiencing average winter conditions.

Maintenance Tips
- Inspect the auger and impeller regularly: Look for signs of wear or damage, such as bent paddles or broken welds. Replace worn parts promptly to maintain optimal performance.
- Replace shear pins as needed: Shear pins protect the auger gearbox from damage if a hard object is encountered. Keep spare shear pins on hand and replace them immediately if broken.
- Check and adjust belt tension: Loose belts can cause slippage and reduce the snow blower's throwing power. Refer to the owner's manual for instructions on how to properly adjust belt tension.
- Use fuel stabilizer: Add fuel stabilizer to the gasoline before storing the snow blower for the off-season to prevent fuel degradation and carburetor issues.
