Very true. I am going to try it without it. I can lift the blower up to "6" out of 8 on my lift bar. I threw the show chute extension on and it still cleared. The interference is definitely the arms hitting the frame, but I think I have plenty of lift to start. We shall see.

Thanks to all who have given me some pointers. I'll post up some pics of the thrower with the right belt and pulley as soon as my McMaster order comes in today.

Talking
So I finally pieced the blower all together. I ended up with a 34" 5L belt. It tightened up okay, but towards the bottom of the adjustment so I have a 33" on order as I expect the 34" belt to stretch a little once put under load and I may run out of adjustment.

I swapped the pulley out to a quality cast iron 3.5" 5L. I soaked the old stamped steel pulley for two days with PB Blaster and it still turned into a pretzel when using the 3 jaw puller to take it off, but it came.

I also took the opportunity to try improving the performance by fastening pieces of truck mudflap to the throwing portion of the auger to reduce/eliminate the gap of the auger to the drum/shell. This coupled with the speed up pulley should hopefully really throw some snow.

Added 260 lb of wheel weights (had them made out of 1.5" thick steel and I had a couple lifting weights too) to a Xtrememotorworks weight bar. I fixed the head/taillight wiring too (it was all jacked up).

Pics of the progress:

Yes I do, but what I have will have to work for now. I've been ordering too many tractor parts and the wife is becoming suspicious.

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.
