Default 2 stage blower
I retro fitted a MTD 40" 2 stage snowblower to fit my 1250, worked well for a year or so and I noticed it just did not have the snort I wanted so I Attached an engine mount on the back and now run a vertical shaft 20hp engine to power just the blower. Things a beast!! Now I am installing a cozy cab and making my auger controlled electronically. Any one ever done this?

How did you drive the blower with a vertical shaft?
And do you mean your going to make the auger electric or the chute?

How about some pics!

I used the factory kohler to just power the hydro transmission and hydro lift and made a separate engine mount that bolts to the rear hitch that I bolted the vertical shaft engine too. From that point I ran an electric clutch to a series of pulley block set ups that runs too the blower. For the chute I am going to use power window motors to operate left to right motion and chute tip up and down movement. I will get some pictures as soon as I can to show how it ends up.

I think I would have just repowered the 1250 with a 14 or 16 and been done with it. Sounds like you are trying to reinvent the wheel.

Even a 16hp would struggle to power the 40" 2 stage while also powering the tranny. I tried it on a friends 1650 and it struggled a bit. I love my cub and the last thing I want is to burn the kohler out prematurely hence why I have a sacrificial briggs and stratton bolted to the back lol. They are a dime a dozen and cheap.

I find that rather hard to beleive. My 1641 Cub with a 16hp Briggs Vanguard has more than enough kahunas to power the 451 45" snow thrower and power the trans. It will go through 12" of snow without a problem. All it says is let the big dog eat. LOL Sounds like you have some pulley ratios out of whack.

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.
