John Deere TRX27 Snow Blower Thrower Parts
The John Deere TRX27 snow blower, a popular choice for homeowners and light commercial use, was known for its reliability and powerful snow-clearing capabilities. Manufactured in the early to mid 2000s, this gas-powered, two-stage snow thrower features a 27-inch clearing width, making it well-suited for driveways and walkways. Its robust design and user-friendly controls contributed to its widespread appeal during its production run.
The John Deere TRX27 snow blower was a mainstay in the John Deere lineup for several years in the early to mid 2000s, offering a balance of power and maneuverability for residential and light commercial snow removal. It was typically powered by a Tecumseh or Briggs & Stratton engine, generally in the 8-10 HP range, with an optional electric start for easy starting in cold weather. Being a two-stage snow blower, it utilizes an auger to gather snow and an impeller to discharge it, improving throwing distance. The TRX27 has a 27-inch clearing width and an intake height of around 20-21 inches, enabling it to handle moderate to heavy snowfall. It could throw snow up to 30-35 feet. The drive system is wheel-driven, with multiple forward and reverse speeds allowing the operator to adjust to varying snow conditions. Chute rotation is manually controlled. A headlight is standard to improve visibility in low-light conditions. While heated hand grips were not standard, they were often added as an after-market feature. The TRX27 is ideal for homeowners with medium to large driveways and for property managers maintaining walkways and smaller parking areas in areas with moderate to heavy snowfall.

Maintenance Tips
- Inspect Auger and Impeller: Regularly check the auger blades and impeller for wear or damage. Replace any worn or damaged parts to maintain optimal performance.
- Replace Shear Pins: Keep extra shear pins on hand and replace them immediately if they break. Using the correct shear pins is crucial to protect the auger gearbox.
- Use Fuel Stabilizer: Add fuel stabilizer to the gasoline before storing the snow blower for the off-season. This will prevent fuel degradation and ensure easy starting next winter.
- Adjust Skid Shoes: Periodically adjust the skid shoes to prevent the scraper bar from scraping the ground and to optimize snow removal on different surface types.
