Belts
Ok so I destroyed my cw-36 the other day when the input pulley came off. So I drive up to PA and scored a nice QA-42 off a 147. It came with a 3.5" speed up pulley that is for a 1/2" belt. Now here is the weird part it was on a PTO that measured the same as mine which I thought was a 3v/vx section because that is what the IH-487043-r1 belt is. My 48" deck belt is a carlisle power wedge 3VX750 that came with the 126. Is there a different PTO that is used with a speed up pulley? Can I use it with the Goodyear Matchmaker A26 belt it came with? The guy I bought it from had gotten the 147 set up this way from the long time 2nd owner. He said that the 2ndPO had been using it this way for years of PA winters.

First, what model of tractor are you mounting it on?
The speed-up pulley is not a factory modification, and the clutch does not change. All of the mechanical PTOs are the same diameter. I have always run 1/2" belts on my snowthrower tractors, as the aftermarket pulley that matches the original one is a 1/2". Since you no longer have the OEM pulley on it, you'll have to measure for the correct size belt. And at any rate, the only way anyone is going to know if the belt your thrower came with is actually going to work or not would be for you to put it on and try it. We have no idea what size pulley you now have on the snowthrower, so you'll have to measure it and buy the appropriate belt. A 3/8" belt will bottom out in a 1/2" pulley and not work. Also, if the pulley is die cast aluminum, don't use it. You need a stamped steel or cast iron pulley.

Guess I was clear as mud, so here it goes. The qa42 with a 3.5" dia X 1/2" speed up pulley is going on my 126, it came off a 147. My big question is the PTO designed to accept belts bigger than 3v/vx section? Sorry for the confussion

I would highly suggest that you ONLY use a Cast Iron Pulley. I have seen posts, where the aluminum, pot metal, stamped steel, and any other cocktail of metals just don't hold up. Save yourself the money & grief and use Cast Iron.

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.
