The Murray 627117X43A snow thrower was a popular model for homeowners needing reliable snow removal. This model was commonly produced in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Powering the 627117X43A is typically a Briggs & Stratton or Tecumseh engine, ranging from 5-7 horsepower. Electric start was an optional feature on some variants, providing easier starting in cold weather. As a two-stage snow blower, the Murray 627117X43A utilizes an auger to break up the snow and then an impeller to throw it away from the cleared path. The auger is protected by shear pins that are designed to break if a solid object is struck, preventing damage to the auger or gearbox.

Throwing distance can reach up to 30 feet, depending on snow conditions. The drive system is wheel-driven, providing multiple forward and reverse speeds to adjust to various snow depths and terrain. The chute is typically manually controlled, allowing the operator to direct the snow discharge. While not equipped with headlights or heated grips, the 627117X43A is ideally suited for clearing driveways, sidewalks, and patios in areas with moderate to heavy snowfall.
