How to angle a 54" blade
1st, I got a QA36A snowthrower!!! Pick it up Saturday. (Darn, I feel like a kid in a candy store!).
Now for my questions on the 54" blade: 1. Was there a kit to manually angle the blade? 2. If not, has an member made a gizmo to manually angle the blade? 3. Has an member made a hydraulic angling kit? Maybe using the hydraulic lift cylinder? The NOS and used kits are out of my price range for now anf winter's coming. Thanks for any and all help!

CD:
Here is a link for the Operator's Manual......... 54 Manual The 42 & 54 inch front blades came from the factory for manual angle. You get off the tractor, pull up the locking tab and angle either way. YES, I have seen numerous home made Hydraulic Angle fabrications that work real well.

I looked long and hard for a cylinder to make one with. I never found an acceptable alternative. I broke down and just bought a kit.
Only thing I found, using my 54 blade with the hydraulic angle is you can only use it for snow. Using it even for loose dirt snaps the small mounting pin in the head. I've tried every type of bolt made, searching Mcmaster high and low, they all break. If somebody has an alternative please let me know. Usually I'll angle to where i want and drop the stock angle rod in to lock it in position.

A 54' blade with X-trac front tires is the way to go. I had a 42' before and it was almost to narrow. With the 42' blade locked straight and plowing deep snow , the path it cleared (AFTER IT FALLS BACK IN) was barley wide enough for my 1211. Before I got the X-trac's The 54' blade would push the front with turf tires all around. Not any more.

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.
