Default QA42A on a 1250
Brand new to the forum and still not too experienced with small engines/equipment, but have been a mechanic for awhile (mostly light duty trucks).

I have a QA42A blower that came with my 1250 and I just put it back on today since we may be getting more snow/ice and both of my trucks are inop. Driveway is gravel and I would rather not use the blade since I'm rather light and have no wheel weights/chains.

I have a few questions for you folks.

1. What is the proper belt size for my combo, 30"?

2. The bigger problem. I noticed when I tried to fit the belt that came with it (seems too narrow and too small) that the pulleys are WAY misaligned. The pulley on my unit is a stamped pulley but has the correct collar with set screws. One was already backed most of the way out, the other was rusted and tightened down. Some PB blaster and a allen bit with a 1/4" wrenchmade quick work of that, but the pulley is stuck fast. I'd hate to have to pull the blower back off (garage floor and driveway are #4 gravel). Will a puller work to get the stamped pulley off? It doesn't look like I would have enough room on the shaft even if I did get it free, so can the pulley be turned around with the collar/set screws facing the blower?

3. Are these collars keyed? There looks to be a key wedged in the blower side of the collar.

4. I have a lead on a cast iron pulley on ebay, should I go ahead and get it? I got laid off back in November so I'm trying to do this with no money spent (for now) if I can. I also got hit by a reckless driver in November so I'm gathering body parts to replace the truck's entire front clip and half of the decrepit fuel system. Diesel parts aren't cheap Plus there's all the vehicle/house insurance/tax coming up on top of paying out for a wedding.

Any help is appreciated!

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.
