QA36A on 82 Series (680) - Belt Help
Hello guys and gals. I have a 680 Hydro (based on the 82 series I believe). It came with a QA36A snow thrower. I am in the process of trying to get it installed and the belt is giving me trouble. I understand that it should take either a 28" or 30" belt, but I can't even get a 1/2" by 32" belt to fit. The physical connection of the thrower to the tractor was easy. I believe it was just as simple as guiding the blower into the quick detach receiver and bolting the right arm/strap on (I do have a QA36-42 owner's manual). I had to put the lift linkage on too, but it was a breeze. The belt is the issue. I have the tensioner that is on the side of the blower (left hand from cockpit view). I have it maxed out. The 4 bolts that move on the mounting plate are free and bottomed out on the adjustment slot. I can't figure out what I am missing. I know that ideally I should be using a 36B thrower, but the "A" came with the tractor along with a 30" belt. Any thoughts on what I am missing? I am thinking of ordering a couple belts: 33", 34" and possible 35" from McMaster, but I want to get your opinion. Thanks in advance for the help. Here are some pictures of my setup.
Belt too short:  All the connections in place (I hope):   Adjustment cam (boys, I need to clean under there  : Model Info (blower and tractor):   Thanks again.

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.
