Murray 627808X61A Snow Blower Thrower Parts
The Murray 627808X61A is a robust, gas-powered two-stage snow thrower known for its reliable performance in residential snow removal. Typically manufactured in the late 2000s and early 2010s, this model features a considerable clearing width, making it popular for driveways and walkways with moderate to heavy snowfall. Its two-stage design allows it to handle a variety of snow conditions efficiently.
The Murray 627808X61A snow thrower was a popular model in the late 2000s and early 2010s, offering a balance of power and maneuverability for homeowners. It typically features a Briggs & Stratton engine, often around 8-10 HP (approximately 205-250cc), providing ample power for tackling significant snowfalls. Many models also included an electric start option for easier starting in cold weather. As a two-stage snow blower, it utilizes an auger to break up the snow and then an impeller to throw it away from the clearing path. The auger system is designed to efficiently pull snow into the housing. The 627808X61A typically has a clearing width of around 26 inches and an intake height of approximately 20-21 inches, enabling it to handle moderate to deep snow. The throwing distance can reach up to 30-35 feet, depending on snow conditions. This model often uses a wheel drive system with multiple forward and reverse speeds, offering good traction and control. The chute controls are typically manual, allowing the user to adjust the direction and angle of the snow stream. While some models may have a headlight, heated grips are not a common feature. The Murray 627808X61A is ideal for use on paved surfaces like driveways and sidewalks and excels in handling moderate to heavy snowfalls.

Maintenance Tips
- Regularly inspect the auger and impeller for damage or wear. Replace worn paddles or auger blades to maintain optimal performance.
- Check and replace shear pins as needed. Shear pins protect the auger gearbox from damage if it encounters a hard object.
- Use fuel stabilizer in the off-season. This prevents fuel from degrading and causing starting problems when you need the snow blower again.
- Adjust the skid shoes to suit your surface. Raising the skid shoes can prevent damage to gravel driveways, while lowering them provides better scraping on paved surfaces.
