Default Need replacement bearing(s) for my QA42A Gear Box, where to buy?
Well in its never ending quest to put my machine through the wringer, this last weekend after our snow storm my QA took a hit. One (or two?) of the bearings in the gearbox went bye-bye so now the input shaft is at an angle coming out of the gearbox since it has no support. My question is, is this going to be bad/difficult to fix (i.e. do the bearings need pressed in or are they set in a kept in place by a snap ring)? And where, if anywhere, can I get replacement bearings? The part numbers according to the Cub Cadet site are 475-627-R91 for part 9 (bearing) and 485-306-R1 for part 12 (an oil seal). Or am I better off looking for a new gearbox? It still works as it sits, although I'm sure it's not healthy to use like it is. Thanks for any help guys!

You won't know if you only need bearings or if the complete box is toast until you take apart.

I was afraid of reading something like that.

My guess is that if the input shaft is at an angle it chewed up the gears. But You won't know until you get it apart. Get off the computer and go take it apart then post some pics.

I plan on it as soon as I can, I'm at work now so I can't really justify heading home to play in the garage. I'll get it apart as soon as I can and take pics. I guess I was hoping that since it still works now the gears were ok and I would be good to just replace the seal and bearing but I shall heed your advice and tare into it.

OK, I hear the work deal. I was only busting on you.

Hope you got lucky and only need seals and bearings. Keep us posted. You may want to start looking for a box if yours turns out to be FUBAR.

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.
