Default Snowthrower belt rubbing
I have a snowthrower on my Cub 127 and the BELT seems to be rubbing against tractor in PICTURE! Gear box mounting plate doesn't seem to have any SIDE TO SIDE movement to adjust! Wondering how can I adjust?

How about some pictures of the way this snow thrower is mounted. Side, front & top views would be helpful.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say it's a QA42A.
My guess is it doesn't have the bushings on the shaft and the gearbox mounting has slid over to the side.

It appears that your gear box is from a "QA 36/42 A", I'm guessing that the front mounting plate is too.

I don't have a QA 36/42 and a QA 36/42A here that I can set side by side to compare the differences but I'm guessing that this is where your problem lies.

I think the front mounting plate has a "lip" on the bottom edge preventing it from being turned over.

That accommodates the belt tensioner pivot/anchor eyebolt.

Does not the pulley hole in the tractor plate dictate the outer plate orientation?
And also disallow mixing of plates from QA__ to QA__A if there is a difference?

What if the gearbox input pulley is different and bigger than original?

And how come O.P.'s 127 does not have the QA latch assembly?

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.
