Murray 621450X4NC Snow Blower Thrower Parts
The Murray 621450X4NC is a gas-powered, two-stage snow blower known for its reliability in handling moderate to heavy snowfall. This model, typically manufactured in the late 1990s and early 2000s, features a 21-inch clearing width, making it a popular choice for homeowners tackling driveways and walkways. Its robust design and effective snow throwing capability contributed to its widespread use in residential snow removal.
The Murray 621450X4NC snow thrower was a popular model produced primarily in the late 1990s and early 2000s by Murray, a well-known manufacturer of outdoor power equipment. This model is powered by a Briggs & Stratton gas engine, typically in the 5-6 HP range. It is a two-stage snow blower, meaning it uses an auger to break up the snow and then an impeller to throw it away from the clearing path. The auger is a steel serrated design to break through packed snow. The clearing width is 21 inches, and the intake height is around 12.5 inches, allowing it to handle a decent amount of snow in each pass. Throwing distance can reach up to 25-30 feet, depending on the snow conditions. The drive system is wheel-driven, usually with multiple forward speeds and a reverse speed for easy maneuverability. Chute control is typically manual, requiring the operator to physically adjust the chute direction. While it typically does not feature a headlight or heated grips, this model is well-suited for homeowners dealing with moderate to heavy snowfall on driveways, sidewalks, and other residential areas. Ideal snow conditions for this unit are accumulations of 6-12 inches of powdery to moderately wet snow.

Maintenance Tips
- Inspect Auger and Impeller: Regularly check the auger blades and impeller for wear or damage. Replace worn or damaged parts to maintain optimal snow throwing performance.
- Check and Replace Shear Pins: Shear pins protect the auger gearbox. Inspect them before each use and replace any broken ones immediately to prevent serious damage to the snow blower.
- 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.
- Adjust Skid Shoes: Adjust the skid shoes according to the surface you are clearing. Raise them for gravel or uneven surfaces and lower them for paved surfaces to protect the scraper blade and prevent damage to the ground.
