Question Snow thrower HELP PLEASE
Hello. I have a 1650 and have been planning on putting a snow thrower on it. I know I need QA-A. I have found a QA42-A. It was on a JD 318 and owner has sence bought a JD blower for his. I am not sure if mount brackets have been changed or not but it does have hydro lift on it already. I plan on taking my 1650 with me to make sure if it fits.

QUESTION!!! I do not plan on using mule drive and mower deck on the 1650 ever. Now..... Can I disconnect the hydro lines from the deck lift cyl. and extend the hozes from the raise/lower switch/lever from the stock hyrdro pump/valve (sorry not sure what im saying) (i hope all this makes sense as I am half asleep right now) to the raise/lower cyl on the blower and to be able to raise and lower the blower?

No plans of adding rear attachments either.

Thank you !!!!!!
John

If somebody kludged it onto a JD, your guess is as good as mine or anyone else's as to whether or not it'll still fit correctly on your Cub. I'm going to guess you'll have some mods to undo.

There is no reason to do what you are proposing to lift the snowthrower...just run a lift rod from the lift arm on the right side of the tractor to the lift arm on the snowthrower as shown in the manuals available on this site and also numerous pictures that can be found here. The tractor is already set up to raise and lower the snowthrower as is...no need to have a lift cylinder for every attachment like most JDs...

I got to tell you for $500 let them have it. Looks to me like a whole jd drive system has been cobbed on to it. That is rediculous money for a QA-A thrower. I would bough out of that one. Just my 2 pennies.

Qa 42 snowblower. Just because its painted John Deere yellow does not make it worth $500. I would not pay more then $50 for it.

Pass on that. I bought mine for $150 and it still has the original paint and stickers - still shiny, as a matter of fact. Something better is out there.

I agree with the others. Way over priced. Leave it sit. You should be able to find a nice one, ready to use here in Iowa for $150-200. It's been pretty cobbled up and painted Jane Doe "Gold".

Keep your eyes peeled, something will show up for ya!

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.
