Lawn and Garden readers have rated Murray Walk Behind 1695538 5.25TP 21-Inch Single Stage Snow Blower Owners Manual 4.0 out of 4.0 based on 2 product reviews. I wasn’t looking for a massive snow blower. This one works really well for the size of my driveway in lighter snow conditions
Picked up used Murray snowblower last week for light jobs. Perfect size, just a little old (2007). Was looking for info re:specs for minor maintenance.
