I plan to bolt on some wings to the front sides of the blower to cover the added width of the wheel.

I was going to suggest wood pads for your skids, too. Easy and cheap to make. Cut several so that when one pair wears out, you just do a quick replacement. Good idea Bill!

Mine had one, I added another, the far one in the pic, recently took it off to try that, think I'll be putting it back on. My thought is the wheel idea would really solve your problems.

That is what my H48 has. Going to put one on the QA 42.
Did manage to improve it by moving the upper link bars to the shorter hole and adjusted on the pads a bit. It works ok as it is but I know setting up a float will help it with sidewalk edges. Might try leaf springs until I get a wheel setup done. Figure on adding a wiper on the bottom so I can run teh blower a bit higher and still scrape the concrete. My main goal is to keep it from hanging and stopping on a misleveled concrete. We have a lot of that in my area.

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.
