snowthrower sprocket hits sprocket mounting bracket
I had asked a question in another post about how to get the shaft out of the sprocket and got an answer...thank you very much. Now, I want to know why when my snowthrower is running the transfer shaft and sprocket move over to the left so that they rub against the sprocket mounting bracket? I have never used this thrower before and was all ready to try it out today (supposed to get about 6 inches total, with more on the way Tuesday) when I saw that the PO apparently ran it this way for a while because part of the sprocket mounting bracket is worn away. Could I put SAE washers on the outside of the sprocket to keep it from going over and hitting the bracket, or is there something else that I need to look at to fix the problem? Thanks for the help.

Yes a washer wll take up the side thrust. Brass or Bronze is better. when you adjust the chain tension, tighten the outside bolt a smidgeon tighter,
(the side that the sprocket is on/digging into. that will help angle the bracket to counteract this. you don't want to go overboard here, just a bit tighter, and grease the zerks.

Jason, how big of a project was it taking everything apart? I was planning on waiting until spring to do mine because I don't want to be out of commission for too long. However, if its not too time consuming, I would like to take care of it before it causes too much damage.
George, what is the process for tightening the chain?

Tukn20s,
It wasn't too bad of a job. I was going to just put some washers in to shim it, but I have a QA36 I wasn't using, so I took it apart and swapped out the best parts of both to make a nice one. It might take an hour or so unless anything is rusted. Tried it out and everything works well now. Cleaned up alongside of the road in front of my house and it worked well. Good luck with yours. Thanks for the help guys. Jason

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.
