Default 450 blower seems slow
have a 450 on my 782d and it only throws light fluffy snow about 10 foot does this seem rite? it came off a super im guessing because it had the extra peices bolted on that i took off... did the supers have a different size engine pully than my smoker? like i said it seems like it isnt turning fast enuff

In light fluffy snow, yes. Are you sure it is a 450 and not a 451?

The 450 and 451 are identical, except for the gearbox ratio. You can't tell just by looking at it.

Gt do a search of recent threads under 450/451 snowblowers in this section, I had the same questions that were answered to determine an unknown unit.

All you have to do is spin the input pulley and count the turns of the impeller. 450 has about a 2-1 ratio, 451 has about a 2.5-1 ratio.

its too cold to go outside now and count turns but it sounds like a 6 inch pto was used with a 451 and a 4 inch pto was used with a 450? so it is possible mine might not be turning fast enuff... im pretty sure my pto is 4 inch.. traded a beat up qa42 for this one maybe didnt get such a great deal. wish i could find a plow close by i think snow removal would be faster with one of them.... but then again that does reduce seat time dont it.... wife dont understand how you can be covered with snow head to toe and still be grinnin.... she thinks im retarded i think shes missin out

Your correct on the pto size and typically you'll find the 451 to be factory yellow although there's always an odd duck out there but you should check the pulley and impeller ratio to better understand what you have.

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.
