John Deere TRX26 Snow Blower Thrower Parts
The John Deere TRX26 is a popular two-stage gas-powered snow blower known for its reliability and efficient snow removal. Manufactured for several years, the TRX26 features a 26-inch clearing width, making it ideal for homeowners and light commercial use. Its robust design and powerful engine made it a favorite for tackling moderate to heavy snowfall.
The John Deere TRX26 snow blower was introduced as a reliable mid-sized machine for residential and light commercial snow removal. Powered by a Tecumseh engine ranging from 8-10 HP (depending on the specific year and model), it offered a robust performance. Some models included an electric start option for easier starting in cold weather. As a two-stage snow blower, the TRX26 uses an auger to break up snow and an impeller to throw it, providing increased throwing distance compared to single-stage models. It features a 26-inch clearing width and an intake height of approximately 20-21 inches, allowing it to handle moderate snow depths. Throwing distance is typically up to 30-40 feet. The drive system is wheel-driven, offering multiple forward and reverse speeds for maneuverability. Chute control is manual, allowing the operator to direct the snow stream. Most models included a headlight for improved visibility during early morning or evening snow removal. While heated grips were not a standard feature on the TRX26, its powerful performance made it well-suited for handling moderate to heavy snowfall on driveways, sidewalks, and parking areas. It's a good choice for homeowners and property managers looking for a dependable snow removal solution.

Maintenance Tips
- Inspect Auger and Impeller: Regularly check the auger blades and impeller for wear, damage, or bending. Replace damaged parts to maintain optimal performance.
- Check and Replace Shear Pins: Shear pins are designed to break if the auger encounters a hard object. Keep extra shear pins on hand and replace them immediately when broken to prevent damage to the auger gearbox.
- Use Fuel Stabilizer: Add fuel stabilizer to the gas tank before storing the snow blower for the off-season. This will prevent fuel degradation and ensure easy starting next winter.
- Adjust Skid Shoes: Adjust the skid shoes to maintain the proper clearance between the scraper bar and the ground. This prevents damage to the scraper bar and ensures efficient snow removal.
