Newbie from Ithaca NY
Hello all, I purchased my first cub, a Model 1450, this summer, 2010.
I used to have an older Sears Model 10 XL which I had a love hate relationship with for over 10 years. Actually it was a good machine, made in the late 60's or early 70's. AND it could throw snow. I should have kept it, but was told by a repair guy that the magneto was bad and he said he searched and searched and could not find a replacement. So foolishly I took it to the scrap metal yard and got $17.43. Needing a replacement for and seeing the durability built into Cubs, I searched ads and found a Model 1450. Came with mower deck, wheel weights, chains and a cobbled up snowthrower. The 42" model CC-42 thrower was not designed to mount on a 1450, but the previous owner welded brackets on to make it like a "QA" (quick attach) However it could not be raised up and had 6" wheels mounted where the skids belong. I tried to make it work, with custom lift brackets. The hydraulic lift raised it ok, but the belt never aligned properly. So..I purchased a QA-36 (complete) and a snow blade both for $200. However, Now the QA-36 keeps throwing the chain and I can't see why, maybe these throwers are a poor design. Any help?

Hi, and welcome to the site.
I have the qa42a on a 1250 and it works perfectly. For your problem, I would check to make sure the chain has the proper tension (I tightened mine recently because it was a little lose, but it was very easy), and also check the chain and sprocket for wear, if they are worn enough it can cause this problem also. Only other thing i can think of is the chain is misaligned but I don't think that is likely to happen.

Patrick51 welcome to OCC. Do the sprockets appear to be aligned with one another. Tension,stretched chain,worn sprockets and poor alignment will throw a chain every time. Make sure none of them issues are present. Any cub blower I have ever had are close to bullet proof when set up correctly. Nice to see another N.Y.er on the forum. By the way I live in Cortland N.Y.

Patrick51-Thanks
Thanks for the suggestions. QA-36 Sprokets don't appear to be badly worn, I have seen worse. I will check the alignment of the sprockets. I will take better pictures of the chain and sprockets when I get time and energy to go out and melt off the ice and snow with a hairdryer.

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.
