The Murray 620301X4NB is a popular gas-powered two-stage snow thrower designed for both residential and light commercial use.

Its robust design and reliable engine made it a favorite for homeowners dealing with moderate to heavy snowfall.
The Murray 620301X4NB snow thrower was a common sight in many households during its production run. While exact years produced are difficult to pinpoint without serial number databases, it's estimated to have been manufactured in the early to mid 2000s. This model typically houses a Briggs & Stratton or Tecumseh engine, ranging from 8 to 10 horsepower, offering ample power for tackling significant snow accumulations. Many versions feature an electric start option for easy starting in cold weather. As a two-stage snow blower, it uses an auger system to break up the snow and then an impeller to throw it a considerable distance – often up to 30-40 feet. The standard clearing width is approximately 26 inches, with an intake height around 20 inches. This allows it to handle fairly deep snow drifts. It utilizes a wheel drive system with multiple forward and reverse speeds, providing good traction and control. The chute controls are usually manual, allowing the operator to direct the snow stream. A headlight provides enhanced visibility during early morning or evening snow removal. While heated grips weren't a common feature on this model, its overall performance made it well-suited for homeowners and small businesses facing moderate to heavy snowfall on driveways, sidewalks, and parking areas.

Maintenance Tips
- Inspect Auger and Impeller: Regularly check the auger blades and impeller for signs of wear, damage, or bending. Replace any damaged parts to maintain optimal performance.
- Check and Replace Shear Pins: Shear pins are designed to break and protect the auger gearbox from damage if it encounters a hard object. Keep spare shear pins on hand and replace them immediately after they break.
- Use Fuel Stabilizer: Before storing your snow blower for the off-season, add fuel stabilizer to the gas tank to prevent fuel deterioration and carburetor issues.
- Adjust Skid Shoes: Adjust the skid shoes according to the surface you are clearing (pavement, gravel, etc.) to prevent damage to the surface and the scraper bar.
