Typically manufactured in the late 1990s and early 2000s, this model features a 21-inch clearing width, making it a popular choice for homeowners with moderate-sized driveways and walkways.

The Murray 621451X85C snow thrower was a popular model in the late 1990s and early 2000s, offering a balance of power and maneuverability for homeowners. It's typically powered by a Briggs & Stratton engine, likely in the 5-6 HP range, though exact specifications may vary based on the year of manufacture. Some models may have offered an electric start option for easier starting in cold weather. As a two-stage snow thrower, the 621451X85C utilizes an auger to break up and collect snow, and then an impeller to throw the snow through the discharge chute. The clearing width is 21 inches, allowing it to clear a decent path in one pass. Intake height is typically around 12-16 inches, which is suitable for handling moderate snow depths. Depending on conditions, the throwing distance can reach up to 20-25 feet. The drive system uses wheels for maneuverability, with likely 4-6 forward speeds and 1-2 reverse speeds. Chute control is typically manual, requiring the operator to adjust the chute direction. Many models included a headlight for improved visibility during early morning or evening snow removal. Heated grips were not a standard feature on this model. The Murray 621451X85C is best suited for paved driveways and walkways in areas that receive moderate to heavy snowfall.

Maintenance Tips
- Inspect the auger and impeller regularly: Check for any damage, wear, or loose parts before each use. Replace worn or damaged parts promptly.
- Replace shear pins: Keep extra shear pins on hand and replace them immediately if they break. Use only the correct shear pins specified for your model.
- Use fuel stabilizer: Add fuel stabilizer to the fuel tank before storing the snow blower for the off-season. This will prevent fuel from degrading and clogging the carburetor.
