Default QA-42 Auger Bearing Removal Help

Any helpful suggestions on how to get these auger bearings and collars off?

I'm ready to dive in and install new ones before snow flies again.

Thanks,
Rob

If their like most rusty lock collars and bearings you can try soaking them and driving them off, but probably have to resort to using some heat to break them loose.

I depends on what style of bearings they are, iirc the factory bearings didn't have "locking collars" as such. I believe they had two set screws in the collar but I believe the collar doesn't come off of the bearing.

If they are aftermarket bearings, they may have a locking collar like a front PTO bearing.

Pictures might be helpful.

You need to loosen the allen screw on the collar, then spin the collar to loosen the eccentric that holds it to the bearing. Unbolt the plates holding the bearings, then drive one bearing in so you can slide the auger over to extract it. Once out, slide off the bearings. Easy peasy......Ha. If yours are like mine, spray penetrant now if your planning to work on it this weekend.

I would say that these are original collars and bearings. The collars have two set screws. I have been putting the penetrating oil to them for a few days now.

I wasn't sure if a puller might be needed or if there was a special way to unlock the eccentric from the bearing.

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.
