Any snowthrower tips?
I have been using a 1971 Sears SS12 that my father purchased new, for the last 6 years. She's done a great job, but after using manual front and rear blades last winter in both 24+" snow storms, I went looking for a tractor with hydraulics. I found my 1450 for 400 bucks with a 54" blade and 50" mowing deck. The 1450 didn't run, but had the optional front hydraulic ports. After removing the gas tank, cleaning it out and removing the carb and cleaning it, she came to life. I have since purchased a 3 point, brinly sleeve hitch and QA36A snowthrower. I have never owned a snowthrower or snowblower. Do you guys have any tips for upgrading or the operation of the snowthrower? I know I need to check the area for any "foreign objects". (I watched a neighbor swallow a frozen newspaper with a walk behind snowblower, wasn't a pretty sight! I ended up dismantling it, removing the newspaper and hammering the sheetmetal back in place). Any spare parts that I should have on hand other than the drive belt? Just trying to be prepared for this winter.
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.
