Default New QA42A snowthrower

I'm super excited. Just had winning bid on ebay for a QA42 snow thrower!!! It is my first 'official' attachment for my 1710. I have to drive a couple hours one way to get it so it will be a bit before I can post pictures, but rest assured I will. It looks really well taken care of and not hardly any rust. Now I just need weights, chains, and oh ya....finish doing a motor swap....there will be a thread of that too.

Sounds great! Congratulations on winning it. Looks like you will need it soon enough as IL is going to get some snow soon and an arctic blast. Let us know how it works for you!

I install one on my QL 1650 this year, the first time I try it one side of the drive shaft disconnect, I fixe it and 5 minutes later the other side disconnect, I fix it again, then the belt start to slip, I store the tractor and use my trusty Arien walk behind snow blower.

I manage to fix the belt problem the next day, and give a try again yesterday (9 dec 2013), this time the rotor chain broke and I can find a part number to replace it, now I wonder if this POS worth anything since it's throwing the snow only 10 feet's from the tractor. I even replace the OEM 4" pulley with a 3 1/2 " one to speed up the rotor a bit.

I will fix the chain problem and do the "rubber mod" to the rotor and we will see, for the moment I cross my fingers because finding a 190-364-100 2 stages snow blower for my machine it's rare like pope a$$ skin.

Update 12-12-2013: I just change the #40 single pitch master link on the chain instead of buying a new one, now I try to find good rubber for the rotor flaps mod...:-) Any good result on your side FlyingB?

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.
