Installing Q42A on 1811
Hey everybody! Just recently joined the Cub Cadet owners with the purchase of a 1811 a couple months ago that I plan on fully restoring this spring. I figured I would give it a try and buy the snow thrower this winter as I was told they do really well clearing driveways. I was having a difficult time finding a 450 snow blower for sale due to the bad timing so I purchased a Q42A to hold me over for now. I was able to get the snow thrower mounted but noticed the drive pulley for the thrower is a few inches off from the alignment to the engine pulley. Has anybody completed one of these installs? How'd you go about doing it and are there parts I can buy to swap out or will it require straight modifying? Thanks!

The QA42A snowthrower was NEVER designed for the 1811. The more appropriate model would have been a QA42B.
You will have to change two things to make this snowthrower work for your application. One, is change the Drive Pulley to a 5/8" width (IH-78055-C1). Two, the Top Links (IH-79011-C1) will need to be changed so the tractor side panels won't interfere. In addition, picture(s) of what setup looks like would be most helpful.

I mounted a qa42a on my 1806 one year. Did the pulley swap and made the curved upper links. I was never happy with the performance of it.
Save yourself the headache , sell the qa4a, save the money you would spend on making it work and buy a (450) two-stage blower for it.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
