Default QA42A snow thrower with hydraulic rotate feature

i know I'm not the first to do this, but i think i am the first to offer details on how i did it. works very smooth and very controllable! i just wish i had found a cheaper version of the hydraulic motor. wasn't a cheap setup but i wanted to use my front hydraulic outlets for something!

the motor came from northern tool. they list it as a dual purpose hydraulic motor/pump. they have a number of different displacements to fit your needs. i ordered the largest one in an attempt to slow it down more. after hooking it up found out it was still way too fast and had to make homemade restrictors in the lines. so if i did it again i would just get the smallest one and drill the holes in my restrictors one size smaller. the size i had to use was 5/64" hole to slow it down enough to make it non violent.

A lot of the details are in the pictures but if anyone is thinking about doing this i can put more details on here just let me know.

thanks!! I was a little upset i had to weld that angle iron to the thrower body but i couldn't find a sturdy point to mount it anywhere else. i think with a little effort i could still reverse this back to original would just have to grind the weld off and put a little filler in the groove left from the grinder.

plus i bought it for $25 just needed a new sprocket and chain was gone... and a LOT of grease lol

Nice work! I wonder if one of those cheap Harbor freight winch's could be used to turn the chute? I think the cable could be wrapped around the chute and then back to the drum on the winch making it a loop. Just a thought.

These are great idea's for a power turn chute, you guy's really put on the old thinking cap's! Another great and simple design was from Todd Markle, I hope he doesn't mind that I re posted his picture's from years ago.

That's hard to beat when it comes to being simple.

Did somebody say simple? I just used a small 3/8" reversible Makita drill. The 6.2 volt drill turns the chute with ease.

Oh,I found this picture too. The drill is just hanging on a zip tie you can't see. I made a new control rod, not to ruin the original. Works great..... IMG_20131212_102027_551.jpg

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.
