the guy at the mower shop insists that the cub cadet tractor mounted snowblowers do not work well. i insist that i have seen evidence to the contrary but he insists that is only perfect conditions. im not going to discredit the 37a, its a well made blower and has sevred me well for what i paid for it. what i dont like about it is that it doesnt quite throw it far enough. i havent really had issues but there has been years where it has been that if i got to much more snow i would have been in trouble. i want a snowblower that will launch that **** into outer space, lol. the old john deere were built well just like the rest of the bunch.... wheelhorse, IH cub cadet, sears suburban, ingersol/case, ect. there were all built well. seems like the cub is built a little heavier than all of the rest. the transmissions, i would say were/are the best ever put into a garden tractor.
i think i might buy that unit at 100 bucks. what do i have to loose at that price. if i dont like it i could always sell it for what i paid for it. seems like the qa42 is longer, but not as tall as the 37a. how difficult is it to find the missing parts on the qa42 that im thinking about buying? i wouldnt be using it this year most likely, well maybe. it depends upon how long it takes to rebuild that engine.
my dream tractor...... a case 446, that thing is nuts, but i dont think you can buy one for what i paid for that 147, not to mention onans, while very good engines are expensive to work on. kohler k series are cheap in comparison.
