The Murray 627858X43A snow blower was a common sight in suburban driveways during its production run. While the exact years of production can vary, it was most prevalent in the early to mid-2000s. Typically powered by a Briggs & Stratton or Tecumseh engine (around 8-10 HP), the 627858X43A offered an optional electric start for easier cold-weather starts. As a two-stage snow blower, it utilizes a robust auger system to break up the snow and then an impeller to throw it a considerable distance, often up to 30 feet. The 26-inch clearing width and approximately 20-inch intake height allow it to handle moderate snowfalls with ease. The wheel-drive system usually offers multiple forward and reverse speeds, providing good maneuverability. The chute rotation is typically controlled manually.

Maintenance Tips
- Inspect the auger and impeller regularly: Look for signs of wear or damage, such as bent paddles or cracks. Replace worn parts to maintain optimal performance.
- Replace shear pins promptly: Shear pins protect the auger gearbox from damage if it encounters a hard object. Keep a supply of replacement shear pins on hand and replace them immediately after they break.
- Check belt tension and condition: Inspect the belts for cracks, fraying, or slippage. Adjust the tension or replace the belts as needed to ensure proper power transfer to the auger and impeller.
- Use fuel stabilizer during off-season storage: Add fuel stabilizer to the fuel tank before storing the snow blower for the summer. This will prevent the fuel from degrading and causing starting problems in the fall.
