Snow Day
Got the snowblower working just in time- we got a total of ~10" snow over the last two days and ~5" last night. It was nice to hear the 14hp work under load for an extended period.
The snowblower is a CC42 that I modified to fit the Quick Attach on my 149. After performing the modification, I now fully understand what the 'QA' in 'QA42A' means. The u-joints and gear case were in OK condition and I found it nearby at a reasonable price so I went for it. Lot of modification, but it works great. I riveted some ~1/4" thick conveyor belt material onto the flat surfaces of the snow auger (riveted onto the flat that actually 'throws' the snow up the chute). The belting extends just past the edge of the steel to close the gap a bit. This seems to help in marginal snow depths ~2 - 3 inches. The thing that really makes it throw snow is good deep snow and correct forward speed. This snowblower blows like crazy when taking a full bite of snow 5-6" deep at full throttle. This snow was perfect for blowing- not super wet, but had some body to really make it travel. Beats the heck out of shoveling anyway- S-D PS- Traction in the driveway was fine, but I tried to blaze a trail in the yard and got stuck. Does anyone know of a good source for chains? I found some on the web but they were fairly pricey. Thanks-

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.
