Steward actions outstanding
Photograph the model serial off the data plate. End-of-season storage routine: fuel-stabilize tank, run engine briefly to circulate Sta-Bil, change oil if >25 hours since last change, grease auger shaft + impeller bearings, store with cover. Note: the auger photos show some surface oxidation — normal but worth a wire-brush + light coat of WD-40 before next season.

Acquisition · Harvest-derived
Husqvarna ST 324 purchased via eBay for $1,059.99. Bought
well ahead of the 2021-22 PA winter season (typical first snowfall mid-Dec → Mar).
Purchase channel: eBay (per Harvest note). The ST 324 was Husqvarna's mid-range
24-inch two-stage in that catalog year — a step above the ST 224 entry-level and below
the ST 327P / ST 330P pro models. ~$1,400 retail at the time, so $1,060 was a notable
eBay deal (either lightly-used or near-new sale).
Harvest entry: 2021-11-17 "Husqvarna ST324 Snow Blower via eBay" $1,059.99.
