Default QA-36 Auger/Bearings

Fixing a few things on my QA36B, and was curious about the bearing/auger shaft situation. I was able to get the bearings off with a bearing puller, but it took quite a few ugga duggas.

I'm assuming the proper method to get the auger out is to drive one bearing further onto the auger shaft and then pull off one of the plates and then slide the auger back and out? I just wrestled the auger out with a lot of pry bar and swearing, and I'm assuming this isn't the proper way to go about it.

Should the bearings slide fairly easily on the shaft?

Thanks!

The bearings have locking collars on them like the font pto's on the narrow frames.
The manual is your friend.

Yeah I got those collars off, but the bearings are super tight still. I managed to get everything apart and back together again.

Just got a big socket and drove the bearing further onto the shaft after I undid one side and then worked it out. Much easier on the re-installation.

Thanks!

Also, I may be overlooking it, but I can't seem to find a CPE-2 section for snow throwers in the library?

Just the owners manual, which doesn't get into disassembly/re-assembly all that much.

The CPE-2 manual is a parts book. It won't cover disassembly and repair.

I am not aware of an attachment repair manual.
Lew probably has one.

Pretty simple machines.

Yes, bearings that have never been removed for 50 years tend to get stuck. Welcome to "Basic bearing removal 101". Use a penetrating oil before disassembly. I just cut the bearings off with a torch. Takes 15 seconds.

On assembly, a little emery cloth on the shaft makes the new bearing slide right on. A little anti-seize on the shaft makes removal next time easier.

Basically what I did, so if that's what you do, there's probably hope for me yet!

The bearings that were on there were still nice and tight and quiet and I was pretty gentle on disassembly , so I just re-used them. Not a tough job to do if I have to replace them.

Just needed to fabricate up a new scraper bar and replace the bottom of the housing that the PO had been using as a scraper bar. That would have been kinda rough to cut out and weld in with the auger in the way.

It's not a heritage restoration, but considering it was pretty beat up before hand, I think it'll get me through the winter.

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.
