The Murray 629101X54A snow blower was a popular choice for homeowners during its production run, primarily in the late 1990s and early 2000s. This model is powered by a Briggs & Stratton engine, typically ranging from 5 to 8 horsepower (check specific unit), and does *not* feature an electric start option, relying on a manual recoil start. As a two-stage snow blower, it employs an auger to break up the snow and then an impeller to throw the snow away from the machine, leading to increased throwing distance. The clearing width is generally 26 inches, with an intake height of around 20-21 inches, depending on the exact sub-model. The throwing distance can reach up to 30 feet, allowing for efficient snow dispersal. The drive system typically consists of wheels with multiple forward and reverse speeds, controlled by a lever on the handle. Chute rotation is manually controlled with a crank or lever.

It is ideal for homeowners with medium to large driveways who need a dependable and powerful snow removal solution.

Maintenance Tips
- Regularly inspect the auger and impeller for wear and damage. Replace worn paddles or auger sections to maintain optimal performance.
- Check and replace shear pins as needed. Shear pins protect the auger and gearbox from damage if a hard object is ingested. Use only the correct type and size of shear pin.
- Use fuel stabilizer in the gasoline, especially before storing the snow blower for the off-season. This prevents fuel degradation and carburetor issues.
- Adjust the skid shoes to ensure proper clearing height and prevent damage to the pavement. Adjustments should be made based on the surface type.
