I've been home from school for about 2 weeks, and I haven't really posted about any CC stuff. I spent a few days fixing up the lathe my dad bought in the fall so I could start fixing Cub Cadet parts with it.
I think I may have figured out why my 782/QA-36A was eating belts. The engine tilt is causing a belt misalignment, and excessive slop in the gearbox bracket allows it to tilt even further out of alignment. I have addressed these issues and will probably post about it in more detail if it works. I can't imagine I'm the only one who has put a QA-36/42A on an 82 series and had belt alignment problems.
I also picked up a barely used 364 2-stage 45" snowblower for my 1872 tonight. I plan on getting that attached and my new rear tires on it soon.
