The Murray 621451X83NA snow blower was a popular model produced by Murray during the late 1990s and early 2000s. It's a two-stage snow thrower designed for residential use. The engine is typically a Briggs & Stratton or Tecumseh engine, ranging from 5 to 6 horsepower. Many models offered an optional electric start for easier starting in cold weather. The two-stage design consists of an auger that breaks up the snow and an impeller that throws it away from the machine. The clearing width is 21 inches, and the intake height is around 12-13 inches, allowing it to handle a decent amount of snow. The throwing distance is usually up to 25-30 feet, depending on the snow conditions. The drive system is wheel-driven, with multiple forward and reverse speeds to provide good control and maneuverability. The chute controls are typically manual, allowing the operator to adjust the direction of the thrown snow. A headlight is often included for improved visibility during early morning or evening snow removal. While heated grips are not a common feature on this model, its ease of use and solid performance make it well-suited for homeowners dealing with moderate snowfalls on driveways, sidewalks, and patios. It excels in handling packed snow and moderate drifts.

Maintenance Tips
- Inspect Auger and Impeller: Regularly check the auger blades and impeller for wear, damage, or bending. Replace worn or damaged parts to maintain optimal snow-throwing performance.
- Replace Shear Pins: The auger is protected by shear pins that break if the auger hits a hard object. Keep extra shear pins on hand and replace them immediately if they break to prevent damage to the auger gearbox.
- Use Fuel Stabilizer: Before storing the snow blower for the off-season, add fuel stabilizer to the gas tank to prevent fuel from degrading and causing starting problems next season.
- Check and Adjust Skid Shoes: The skid shoes on the sides of the snow blower protect the auger housing and allow you to adjust the clearing height. Inspect them regularly and adjust or replace them as needed to prevent damage to your driveway or walkway.
