I've got some general questions about snow throwers, as there just aren't any around here. We made a lift rod to raise it with and determined the length by getting the discharge chute as close to the hood whith the thrower lifted as possible. To me it doesn't have enough ground clearance when raised, how much should it have? Also, if you are using it and the front end should drop in a hole, what keeps the the blower from pivoting so far back it would get into the hood? All of my "problems" may be the result of the thrower being mounted on the wrong mower.

I have a QA42 that was mod'd to fit a WF also...It's a PITA to get mounted and the chute hits the grill if it's lifted more that 3-4". It works great, but I will be getting a 42A front mount and making a longer (and wider) lift bracket for it. As far as the chute, I took the top off on the original chute, but now have a QAXXA chute on it and lifts higher complete than the orig did..
