Tried straightening the 451 snow blower impeller
Thought I would try improve the impeller on my new blower. It appears the PO ate a few big rocks with this blower. I took before pics and completely forgot to take pics after I persuaded most of the metal back. I hope to find a replacement impeller before next winter. I also spent a little time today getting the equipment ready. They are calling for 3-6 inches over night, out and I'm hoping to clear snow tomorrow with my cub. It will be my first time with the 1864 and blower. Beyond excited to try it out. We will be doing about 30 driveways.

I had no idea it would be so easy to remove the auger and the impeller. I am glad it is this easy. On my other blower I added the rubber strips to the impeller and it made a great improvement. I would like to do the same to this one, it will be easier to just pull it out rather than drill the holes while it is mounted in the blower housing.

So, did you get it straightened?
I had an impeller that looked like that. I will admit I didn't straiten it myself, because I have a friend who is a metal fabricator and he owed me a favor.... so I had him do it. After he got done I had it balanced. |

Repairing that isn't hard at all it you have a torch to help "persuade" things. This happened on my fathers 450 snowthrower at his house. The town plows were kind enough to break off and push a large chunk of curbing into the end of the driveway. With everything all plowed up by them in a pile there was no way to see what was lurking underneath. When hit, it sounded like a mortar going off and I swear the chute on the snowthrower straightened out as the curbing went up/through the chute. Right after that I hunkered down with my head held down low watching at it headed toward the neighbors house. I didn't know if it was going to hit his car or hit the picture window. It still traveled about 100 feet but stopped about 5 feet short of doing any damage.

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.
