While precise engine specifications can vary slightly, it generally featured a Briggs & Stratton or Tecumseh engine ranging from 5 to 6 horsepower. Most models did not have an electric start option, relying on a recoil starter. Being a two-stage snow blower, it utilizes an auger to break up and gather snow, and then an impeller to throw the snow through the discharge chute. This model boasts a 26-inch clearing width and an intake height of approximately 20 inches. Its throwing distance is typically up to 30 feet, depending on the snow conditions. The drive system is wheel-driven, with typically 5-6 forward speeds and 2 reverse speeds, allowing for controlled operation. The chute is manually controlled, allowing the operator to adjust the direction of the thrown snow. A headlight for enhanced visibility during early morning or late evening snow removal was a common feature. This snow blower is ideal for moderate snowfall on driveways and walkways, performing best on paved surfaces.","specifications":"

","history":"The Murray C950-52429-1 was introduced as a mid-range offering in Murray's snow blower lineup. It provided a reliable and affordable option for homeowners who needed more power than a single-stage but didn't require the heavy-duty capabilities of larger, more expensive models. While there were no major redesigns during its production run, minor updates to the engine and components were implemented over time.","maintenanceTips":"

Inspect Auger and Impeller: Regularly check the auger blades and impeller for damage or wear. Replace worn parts to maintain optimal performance.
Check and Replace Shear Pins: Shear pins protect the auger gearbox. Replace broken shear pins with the correct type to prevent costly damage.
Use Fuel Stabilizer: Add fuel stabilizer to the gasoline before storing the snow blower for the off-season. This prevents fuel degradation and carburetor issues.
Adjust Skid Shoes: Adjust the skid shoes to the appropriate height for your surface to prevent damage to the scraper bar and ensure efficient snow removal.
