The Murray 624604X89A snow thrower was a popular choice for homeowners during its production run.

Specific engine information indicates this model typically featured a Briggs & Stratton engine, around 5-6 HP (check your exact model for verification; cc may vary). Many versions included an electric start option for easy starting in cold weather. The 24-inch clearing width makes it ideal for clearing sidewalks, driveways, and patios.

- Check and Replace Shear Pins: Shear pins protect the auger gearbox from damage. Inspect them regularly and replace any broken shear pins with the correct type and size. Never use bolts or other substitutes.
- 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 to prevent the scraper bar from digging into the ground or damaging surfaces. Adjust higher for gravel driveways.
