Default Snow thrower belt tension
On the qa36a, does it make sense to tighten the 4 carriage bolts down tight after you've got the belt tensioned tight, that way it prevents it from loosening up at all??

the qa 36a .You do not have to loosen the bolts.
On a qa 42 you do not have to loosen the bolts.
Read up on the manual.

There r actually bushings around each bolt, this is suppose to make it so tension can be set on the belt and and u cannot immobilize the plate. Just looked like my plate was moving during operation. But hey, it's in the manual

I have been using mine for the last 4 yrs without any big problems, besides loosing a belt occasionally. But this yr, it just would work without throwing belts. A few yrs ago, I drilled a hole next to the tensioner handle, put a .25" bolt in, so it can't loosen up. I put a new shiv on, .5x3". It works great now

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.
