Murray 620301X54C Snow Blower Thrower Parts
The Murray 620301X54C snow blower, typically manufactured in the early 2000s, is a popular gas-powered two-stage model known for its reliable performance in moderate snow conditions. Featuring a respectable clearing width, this snow thrower offers a balance of power and maneuverability for homeowners dealing with average snowfall amounts. Its two-stage design allows it to handle deeper snow and throw it further than single-stage models.
The Murray 620301X54C is a two-stage snow blower designed for residential use. While specific production years can vary, it was a popular model in the early 2000s. It's typically powered by a Briggs & Stratton gas engine, usually in the 8-10 HP range (around 205-250cc). Electric start was often an available option, adding convenience for cold weather starts. As a two-stage model, it utilizes an auger to break up snow and then an impeller to throw it out of the discharge chute. The auger is typically a serrated steel design for efficient snow intake. The clearing width is typically around 26 inches, and the intake height is around 20-21 inches, allowing it to handle a decent amount of snow in a single pass. Throwing distance can vary based on snow conditions, but it's generally capable of throwing snow up to 30-35 feet. The drive system is wheel-based, often offering multiple forward speeds (4-6) and 2 reverse speeds for enhanced control. Chute rotation is typically manual, requiring the operator to adjust it by hand. While features like headlights and heated grips are less common on this model, its robust design and reliable engine made it a popular choice for homeowners dealing with moderate snowfall. Ideal snow conditions are those where the snow is not excessively wet or icy. It's well-suited for driveways, sidewalks, and smaller areas where maneuverability is important.

Maintenance Tips
- Regularly inspect the auger and impeller for damage or wear. Replace worn or damaged parts promptly to maintain optimal performance.
- Always use the correct shear pins for the auger. Shear pins protect the gearbox from damage if the auger encounters a hard object. Keep spares on hand.
- Check belt tension regularly and adjust as needed. Loose belts can slip and reduce the snow blower's throwing power. Replace belts if they show signs of wear or cracking.
- Change the engine oil according to the manufacturer's recommendations. Regular oil changes help keep the engine running smoothly and extend its lifespan. Also, use fuel stabilizer when storing the snow blower for the off-season.
