To those with an 82 series QA blower (about belts)
Just wanted to put this out there because I've read a lot, a LOT, of posts on here and other forums generally cautioning against using belts other than IH/CC brand with the QA Blowers. Well, I needed one and in a pinch, I called Napa. Since the 36" belt I had previously gotten direct from CC had shredded in less than an hour and almost "felt" too big (it seemed to almost max out my pulley adjustment), I asked for a good, strong 33" belt. They gave me a B33 which is a Gates Industrial Hi-Power V belt for something like $11.75. Let me tell you this, that belt was a PITA to get on as it was almost too small but has given me several storms worth of great performance showing little to no signs of wear. I have put drifts higher than the blower through it, I have shoved ice and heavy slush through it, and when it has clogged, I just shove more snow through it to clear it out. This belt has been nothing but great for me, and for about half the price of an IH/CC brand belt ($19.xx vs $11.75). I would say to anyone that is in need of a good belt, give it a try. I believe it can be had for less than I paid online.
So how about you guys, have y'all ventured outside of the IH/CC brand for belts and had any success? Share your stories, I will be looking for a good 1/2" belt next year when I move the thrower to my 1450. I hope this info can help someone out there!

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.
