Default Snow Blower
I found a snow-blower on Craigslist today. It's a model QA-42, will this fit my 782? What should look for as far as problem areas? Thanks for the advice.

I may be wrong but I believe the QA42 is for narrow framed tractors. The 782 is a wide frame.

Default Snow-Blower
I called the guy about the snow-blower and he says he had it mounted on his 1810. I asked him to measure the frame mount and he says it measures
13 1/4", I measured my 782 and it is approx. 13" wide frame, so it sounds like it will fit, what do you think? Is $150.00 a fair price?

I guess he maybe doesn't know what he has. If he had it on an 1810 and it was working, it'll fit the 782. I have never paid more than $60 for a snowthrower, but none of mine have ever been ready to use. I personally wouldn't pay that, but I have more time to fix things than money to buy things that don't need any work.

I like that line. I wish it were true for me. But then again I would have to add "and smarts" after the word time!!!

It will have to have curved upper links, or you will not be able to raise it properly.These are fairley easy to have made.The straight ones will hit the bottom of the nose ( grill ) casting. I think there was a clearence issue with the lift rod also ,but can't remember for sure. I do believe it was a simple fix thou

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.
