Cub Cadet 1250, have a few questions.
Hello all,
I recently was able to get a 1976 Cub Cadet 1250 with a QA-42A snow blower, rototiller, and 44" mowing deck. None of them are in awesome shape (except the mowing deck, surprisingly is very clean save it missing a wheel). It had the rototiller on it when I got it, and that works fine (including the rear hydraulic lift). When I got it there were a few things that needed to be fixed, but all were minor (the battery needed to be replaced, the connections to the battery sanded, and the choke cable was frozen) and after they were fixed it starts and runs quite well (the hydrostatic drive transmission is a little rough, but definitely works). So this is where the questions start to come in; I just removed the mount for the belt to the rototiller today and put on the snow thrower, but realized at this point that I had nothing that assisted with the snow thrower going up and down (there is the hydraulic lift ports in the front [I believe some 1250s were electric lifts, but am not sure--this one is hydraulic], but I am sort of a newbie when it comes to this stuff--this is my first lawn/garden tractor I've ever bought and it's 10 years older than I am--and I didn't notice that there were a few pieces missing when I got it from the guy). I've got a few pictures attached; so my question is what do I need to get to use the hydraulic lift in the front for the snow thrower? (Do I need to take the rototiller off and use that one? It didn't even look like the one in the rear would work...I figured I would leave the rototiller on for weight since I don't have wheel weights). I found this on ebay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Cub-Cadet-16...item564f498d3c but I am not sure if that is the part I'm looking for, or if that's for the rear hydraulics... The auger in the snow thrower is in a bit of rough shape but I think I can straighten out most of it with a hammer. She isn't pretty but she (for the most part) works, was affordable, and hopefully I can make her pretty with time once I get all the mechanics figured out. I just purchased a home with 5 acres (most of it is wooded, but about 1 acre is not and I am into gardening) so I figured this would make my life a heck of a lot easier, especially since I mowed that cleared acre with a push mower this past summer (boy did I lose some weight though!). Thanks for your help/advice in advance. If more pictures would be helpful I can take more of a specific area/part.

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.
