Murray 621451X31B Snow Blower Thrower Parts
The Murray 621451X31B is a gas-powered, two-stage snow blower known for its reliability and ease of use in residential snow removal. Featuring a 21-inch clearing width, this model was manufactured in the early 2000s and gained popularity due to its compact size and effective snow-clearing performance. Its straightforward design and readily available parts make it a favorite among homeowners.
The Murray 621451X31B snow blower, produced in the early 2000s, provided an affordable and efficient snow removal solution for homeowners. It is powered by a Briggs & Stratton engine, offering approximately 5.5 HP. While an electric start wasn't a standard feature, many owners found the manual start reliable. This snow thrower utilizes a two-stage system. The auger, typically constructed of serrated steel, breaks up the snow, and then the impeller throws it away from the machine. Its 21-inch clearing width and approximately 12-inch intake height allowed it to handle moderate snowfall effectively. The throwing distance is generally up to 25 feet. The drive system is wheel-driven, offering multiple forward and reverse speeds, providing maneuverability in various snow conditions. The chute control is typically manual, allowing the operator to adjust the direction of the snow stream. While it did not feature a headlight or heated grips, its simple design and robust construction made it a practical choice for clearing driveways and walkways in regions with moderate snowfall. This model is ideal for paved surfaces and is best suited for handling snow depths of up to 12 inches. Regular maintenance is key to the longevity of this machine.

Maintenance Tips
- Inspect Auger and Impeller: Regularly check the auger and impeller for damage or wear. Replace worn paddles or repair any damage to maintain optimal throwing performance.
- Check and Replace Shear Pins: Shear pins protect the auger from damage if it encounters a hard object. Always keep spare shear pins on hand and replace them immediately if broken.
- 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 to the appropriate height for your surface type (paved, gravel, etc.) to prevent damage to the blower and the surface being cleared.
