Default Mounting a QA-42 on a 122

I was asked to show how I mounted a QA-42 to my 122 ( which does not have the quick attach ears ).



It simply bolts up the same way although the quick attach points aren't used. The metal plate ( as seen in the picture ) has a 1/2" pin that goes into the through hole and is held in place by a 1/2-13NC bolt that bolts to the factory welded nut.

If you don't have the same plate, another 1/2-13NC bolt with washer , lock washer and nut is used. I find it much easier to put the bolt through from the inside and places the washers & nut on the outside. I put a long flat screwdriver against the head when tightening and that seems to work for me.

Here's the QA-42 on my 122


The exact same hook up works with the quick attach 42" front blade too although only the forward hole is used. Bolted in this picture.



Fancy pin plate with washers to space it out on this picture.


Jeff

NICE !!! Sure glad to see I am not the only one that uses the strap with pin and bolt. When I bought my 102 it had them on so someone thought of them back in the mid 70s.

That's a factory idea, actually...it's supposed to have those, but it seems they get misplaced easily. I haven't seen too many sets of those brackets.

These are stainless steel and made by Jim the sheetmetal worker I purchased the 125 from.

The factory had a great idea, they work great.

Matt, those are the headlights on the 122 I purchased from you

i also had to improvise to make my QA36a quick de-tach from my #109 to fit my # 122.

After grinding off the quick detach bolts from the snow thrower I also used the existing holes to bolt on the frame of the # 122,


Since then I purchased a quick re-lease bracket for a narrow frame & convert back over so that the snow thrower will fit both the #109 & #122,

Nik,

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.
