Default QA36 belt tensioner
I'm sure this is something simple, but I'm having trouble keeping the belt tensioner tight! There is a bent metal tab that should be stopping the tensioner handle from spinning, but it seems to vibrate to the back of the blower and allows everything to spin loose. Anyone have a pic pf theirs?
I'm thinking that tab isn't bent right.

My qa42 has 4 3/8 bolts you tighten to prevent it from loosening up. They are located to the left and right of the gear box

There are supposed to be 4 spacers in the 4 slots that the bolts go in, so the two plates slide on each other to get your adjustment.

Yes, the tab is supposed to prevent the tensioner from backing off.

I don't have a picture of one, many of the guys have made modifications to keep it from loosening up .

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.
