Murray 627108X31D Snow Blower Thrower Parts
The Murray 627108X31D is a gas-powered, two-stage snow blower designed for both residential and light commercial use. Manufactured in the early 2000s, this model features a 26-inch clearing width, making it a popular choice for homeowners needing to clear moderate-sized driveways and walkways. Its robust design and ease of use contributed to its widespread adoption in snowy regions.
The Murray 627108X31D snow thrower was produced primarily in the early 2000s, targeting the residential snow removal market. While specific engine details vary slightly depending on the year of manufacture, most models are equipped with a Briggs & Stratton or Tecumseh gasoline engine, typically in the 5-6 HP range. An electric start option was available on some sub-models, adding convenience during cold weather starts. Being a two-stage snow blower, it utilizes an auger system to break up snow and then an impeller to throw it away from the clearing path. The clearing width is 26 inches, with an intake height of approximately 20-21 inches, allowing it to handle moderate snow depths. Throwing distance can reach up to 30 feet depending on snow conditions. The drive system is wheel-based, offering multiple forward and reverse speeds for maneuverability. The chute is typically controlled manually, allowing the operator to direct the snow discharge. While it lacks features like a headlight or heated grips, the 627108X31D is well-suited for handling typical snowfall amounts on driveways, sidewalks, and patios. Its two-stage design allows it to process heavier, wetter snow compared to single-stage models. Ideal for homeowners with moderate-sized properties and average snowfall.
