Murray 627809X5D Snow Blower Thrower Parts
The Murray 627809X5D is a robust gas-powered, two-stage snow thrower known for its reliable performance in residential snow removal. Manufactured in the early 2000s, this model features a clearing width of around 26 inches, making it a popular choice for homeowners dealing with moderate to heavy snowfall. Its two-stage design allows it to handle a variety of snow conditions effectively.
The Murray 627809X5D snow thrower was a popular model in the Murray lineup, primarily produced in the early 2000s. Typically powered by a Briggs & Stratton engine ranging from 8 to 10 HP (approximately 205-250cc), some models offered an electric start option for easier starting in cold weather. As a two-stage snow blower, it utilizes an auger to break up and gather snow, then an impeller to forcefully throw the snow away from the clearing path. The 627809X5D boasts a clearing width of approximately 26 inches and an intake height of around 20 inches, enabling it to tackle moderate snow depths with ease. Depending on conditions, it could throw snow up to 30-35 feet. The drive system is wheel-driven, typically offering multiple forward speeds and reverse speeds. Chute control is usually manual, with a crank or lever to adjust the direction of the snow stream. Many models included a headlight for improved visibility during early morning or late evening snow removal. While heated grips were not a standard feature, its powerful engine and robust construction made it suitable for various snow conditions, from light, fluffy snow to heavier, wetter accumulations. This model was ideally suited for homeowners with medium to large driveways and walkways experiencing moderate to heavy snowfall.

Maintenance Tips
- Inspect Auger and Impeller: Regularly check the auger blades and impeller for damage or wear. Replace any worn or damaged parts to maintain optimal performance.
- Check and Replace Shear Pins: Shear pins are designed to break if the auger encounters a hard object. Regularly inspect shear pins and replace them if they are broken to prevent damage to the snow blower.
- Use Fuel Stabilizer: Add fuel stabilizer to the fuel tank before storing the snow blower for the off-season. This will prevent fuel degradation and ensure easy starting next season.
