Default Snow thrower help

I got a new to me QA42A snowthrower last spring, and not knowing anything about it or using one, I mounted it to an also new to me 149. We haven't had much snow this year and haven't had much use for it, but the last snowfall we got and the snow blowing from across the field left about 8in of snow in the driveway. I got the cub out this morning and made a few passes up and down the driveway. The thing worked ok, but only threw the snow about 3 or 4 feet away from the chute. I've read that you can change a sheave on the tractor or the thrower to make it throw farther, but don't know which one or what size to use. Can someone help me out. Thanks.
