Its reliable performance and ease of use contributed to its widespread adoption.
The Murray 629101X85A snow blower, a staple in residential snow removal, offered a blend of power and maneuverability. Specific years of production will vary. Generally equipped with a Briggs & Stratton or Tecumseh gas engine in the 5-7 HP range (specific HP dependent on the exact model year), some versions also featured an electric start option for added convenience in cold weather. It's a two-stage snow thrower, meaning it utilizes an auger to break up the snow and an impeller to throw it away from the clearing path. The auger system typically features serrated steel blades for efficient snow intake. The clearing width is generally around 24-26 inches, with an intake height of approximately 20-21 inches, allowing it to handle significant snow depths. Expect a throwing distance of up to 30-35 feet, depending on snow conditions. The drive system is wheel-driven, usually offering multiple forward and reverse speeds for enhanced control. The chute is manually controlled, allowing for adjustable throwing direction. Many models also include a headlight for improved visibility during early morning or late evening snow removal. While heated grips weren't a standard feature on this model, its robust design made it ideal for handling moderate to heavy snowfalls on driveways and walkways.

- Always keep a supply of shear pins on hand, as they are designed to break under stress to protect the auger gearbox from damage.
- Check the belt tension periodically and adjust as necessary, ensuring proper engagement and preventing slippage.
- Before storing the snow blower for the off-season, drain the fuel or add a fuel stabilizer to prevent gumming and ensure easy starting next season. Adjust Skid Shoes to proper height for surface to prevent damage.
