Murray 629109X85A Snow Blower Thrower Parts

The Murray 629109X85A is a robust two-stage gas-powered snow blower designed for tackling moderate to heavy snowfall. While specific years of manufacture vary, it was known for its dependable performance and relatively wide 26-inch clearing width, making it a popular choice for homeowners with average-sized driveways and sidewalks. Its two-stage design allowed it to handle deeper snow than single-stage models, contributing to its widespread appeal.

The Murray 629109X85A snow blower was a popular model offering a balance of power and ease of use. Although the exact production years are difficult to pinpoint without specific documentation, the model was prevalent during the late 1990s and early 2000s. It was typically equipped with a Briggs & Stratton or Tecumseh gas engine, ranging from 8 to 10 horsepower (approximately 205cc to 250cc), with some versions offering an electric start option for easier cold-weather starts. As a two-stage snow blower, it utilized an auger to gather snow and an impeller to throw it forcefully away. The auger was typically a serrated steel design for efficient snow intake. The 629109X85A boasted a clearing width of approximately 26 inches and an intake height of around 20-21 inches, allowing it to handle moderate snow depths. Throwing distances ranged up to 30-35 feet, depending on snow conditions. It featured a wheel-driven system with multiple forward and reverse speeds, providing good traction and maneuverability. Chute controls were generally manual, with a crank or lever to adjust the direction and deflection of the snow discharge. Headlights were often included for improved visibility during early morning or evening snow removal. Heated grips were not typically a feature of this model. This snow blower was ideally suited for homeowners and property managers dealing with moderate to heavy snowfall on driveways, sidewalks, and other paved surfaces.

Maintenance Tips

  • Inspect the auger and impeller regularly for any signs of damage or wear. Replace worn or damaged parts promptly to maintain optimal performance.
  • Check the shear pins before each use, especially after hitting a hard object. Broken shear pins prevent damage to the auger and transmission. Always have spare shear pins on hand.
  • Ensure proper belt tension. Loose belts can slip, reducing the snow blower's throwing power. Refer to the owner's manual for instructions on how to adjust belt tension.
  • Change the engine oil annually or according to the manufacturer's recommendations. Using fresh oil keeps the engine running smoothly and extends its lifespan.
  • Add fuel stabilizer to the gas tank before storing the snow blower for the off-season. This prevents fuel from degrading and causing starting problems next winter.
  • Adjust the skid shoes to the correct height for your surface. This prevents the scraper bar from scraping the ground and damaging the surface.
