I bought a 147 with a qa42a on it, I replaced the homemade lift rod paddle and homemade lift rod with the proper parts. The problem I found now is that the lift rod hits the footrest and the front axle. I also fixed one of the qa pins and had to tighten both qa frame shoulder bolts, but it didnt solve my issue any. Is it normal for the rod to ride that close to the footrest and axle or am I missing something? I could just build an extension on the snow blower lift point but would still like to know if its installed correctly. Thanks for any help.
