Snowthrower identification
 

Can anyone take a stab at what model this snowblower might be?:

Useable/adaptable for a 1650?

Looks like a qa 42 or qa42a,do you have a picture of the gearbox area?

Sorry nope, this is the only pic.

Am scheduled to pick it up tomorrow... will have more pics then. From what I could tell (and hope) it was a QA42 - am wanting to prepare for winter. Was told it worked great when parked 5 years ago....

It is a QA 42.
QA42A has a pin sticking out where the holes for the mount are so it can fit on a wide frame.You can adapt it if you are good at welding.

that one looks like a QA42 or 36. don't look like its adjustable

It is a qa42. Not an 'A'.

And the condition is what my humble opinion would be categorized as 'rusted junk'.

But. I dragged it home anyway. Will see if I can get the bolts to break free... Or just plain break might be ok. And wire brush it a bit. And see ..... I have been known to beat a dead horse on more than one occasion. :beatdeadhorse:

Of course it will need to be adapted to the wide frame but that should be manageable. And I have an extra deck lift that I will never use that might get cutup for the purpose. Which brings me to the next question:

When a deck is sold, is it expected for the lift mount to come with it?

In my experience, not usually.

Most of the time the deck is just by itself.

Those are an auctioneers favorite words... "It worked the last time we used it." I'm sure it's fine, it just made me laugh when I thought about it.

Yes, it's like the fact that I always seem to find what I am looking for in the last place I look......
