Hello everyone,
I managed to make some progress with the 450 blower. I mounted the augers on the auger shaft and installed the assembly into the blower housing. I found it much easier to install with the drive box removed. It's just too bulky and heavy an assembly to hold onto while trying to align the drive splines. I messed up the paint on the inner blower side panels. The ends were toed in about a quarter to three eighths of an inch. The auger shaft scraped the paint enough to be noticeable. I lifted the auger assembly up and slipped it in at an angle. I'm glad I used Rustoleum as it will need a touch up. After having it all together I check for smooth movement of the mechanism. As I mentioned in an earlier post, I found the blower / auger gear binding after a couple of revolutions. This did't occur prior to dis assembly so I knew I goof something up. I also noticed the augers were reversed. I had the left on the right and the right on the left. Woops. So I took it all apart. I opened up the auger gear box and flipped the shaft end for end. I installed the blower auger assembly with the augers correctly placed. A few spins by hand of the drive pulley showed no binding at all. Now for one last item. For all you experts please pay particular attention to the last photo. It shows the rear of the blower housing. Down at the bottom is the frame is a horizontal member. A bracket bolts to this and in turn attaches to the lift assembly. Notice here it is not straight across but has a uniform shape to it. Is this supposed to be shaped this way or is it supposed to be straight across? From some pictures of similar blowers and the diagrams, I think it's supposed to be straight. What do you think? Any way enjoy the pictures......

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.
