Figured I'd start a new thread since the question asked in the topic of my other one was already answered and I didn't want to stray way off topic. I'm sure I'll probably have other questions so left the topic kinda vague.
Anyway, as I said in my other post, I just got a QA-42A for my 147. It was set up for a wide frame tractor when I got it so I had to set it up for my narrow frame. That went smoothly, but now I have an issue with the upper links not clearing the sides of the front of the tractor (see attached image.) The links are angled inward when installed. I also understand that these are the v shaped links that are actually for a QA-42B but have also read that that shouldn't be an issue. I'm thinking the mounting pins should be longer to accommodate a spacer but want to make sure I'm not missing something before taking everything apart again and trying to replace them. Thanks again in advance! Adam. |

I found this image online. Is this how it should be?

YES, the "curved" upper links on the QA-42B are/were designed specifically for the Cub Cadet 82 Series Tractors.
I would recommend, getting the correct upper links for your application. In the Implement Technical Library Section, there is a link to the QA-XX-A Owners Manual. See Link: Owners Manual.

Thanks for the replies. I do have the manual but its pretty vague on what is involved in switching from wide frame to narrow.
I can make straight upper links if necessary, but I'm not sure how that would help with the clearance issue with the side of the tractor's front end (circled in blue.) There is only about 1/16" with the lift lowered. |

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.
