Outdoor Power Equipment (Lawn Mowers, Snow Blowers, Chain Saws and more) Discussions

Thansk everybody for your feedback on my snowblowers birthdate. I remain a little confused as I have found yet a second serial and model # on the machine, this second finding tells me the serial is 009697 ( so is it a 96 or a 97?) and the model # is 924032. Does this mean it is a 92? I appreciate your help as I am trying to sell it and folks want to know what year it is.

using ariens numbers i all but impossible unless you call them.  the example i gave you is with the tecumseh engine itself.  assuming its the original engine.  post these numbers   disregard the ariens numbers.

     924 series should be somewhere in the range of 1974-1979.  

You can get the manuals here:

   The 924001 is a 724 and a very nice snowblower.  The dash controls on those have all the refinements of earlier models

and great.  It's one of the better older Ariens classics.

   If the 9xxx number you gave was from the tag on the machine where the model number was then it's a 1977.
