Default tiller gearbox question
This may have been discussed before but I never could find a definite answer. What is the difference in the gearbox on a 1a tiller and the gearboxes found on the snowblower? I am needing one for the tiller and was wondering if the ratios were way to different to interchange?
Thanks in advance

IIRC - BASICALLY.....the Tiller gearbox is a 3:1 ratio while the Snowthrower is 1:1 Ratio. A Snowthrower gearbox turns a whole lot faster.:biggrin2.gif:

Sounds to me like a tiller would probably break a thrower gear box.

Well that's not really what I wanted to hear lol. The tiller gear box is a hard find by itself. I purchased a tiller with the gear box but the gearbox was lost in shipping. So now I'm trying to make something work. I appreciate the info. Any ideas are welcome.
Thanks,
Will

Have some patience...they are on ebay frequently, I'm sure at least one of the forum sponsors would have one, and have you tried placing a want ad in the classifieds?

I had to buy one once and had no trouble at all finding one...

It was my findings that a tiller ratio was 1.5 to 1
and the thrower ratio was 2 to 1. for a QA42A thrower
They do show up on ebay, so be patient.

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.
