Nice job on the blower so far Jonathan! I have a rototiller that looks a lot like your blower but in a lot worse shape!

There was a white, electric, grass edger--hand held and walk behind. Think pre weed eater. Just throwing it out there---make a nice wall hanger in the shop.

Hey, I'm hoping enough people are following this thread to get a question answered.

Can anyone confirm a couple things for me? I need to know for sure what this decal reads:

2.0.jpg

Pretty sure it should read:
CAUTION
Keep fingers out of
spout while machine
is running.

Need to confirm it is "fingers" and not "finger".


Secondly, can anyone tell me if the auger and impeller are both white? This machine has been repainted. I didn't notice that originally, but now that I am working on the decals, I see they have been painted around. The augers have white on them, and the back of the impeller is white, but have been repainted yellow. I think they are both supposed to be white. Most of the online pics the augers are white, but found a few that were yellow. Most pics are from the side, so you can't see the impeller. Plus, they are usually "well used" so I just want to be sure. May even be different depending on year made.

Thanks in advance!

Hi Jon
Talked with the engineer today. Short answer is "NO". Any 300 or 400 series stainless lacks the strength for that application. I also asked him about using stainless for driveshafts and that was another big "NO".

The least expensive material starting into the exotics is 17-4PH and that would requiring heat treating after machining for strength that would still be less than a inexpensive alloy steel.

A couple thoughts on your decal dilemma John.

Seems like the spacing is correct for it to be "fingers".
Plus it makes more sense that way... just a couple observations, nothing solid.

Anyway the project is coming nicely... that impeller was some beat up!!

Thanks Jeff! I appreciate the leg work. I'll decide tomorrow if I want to clean up and use the old shafts, or make new and let you know.

Yes, yes it was beat up! Outside of getting it all welded up and balanced, it is perfect now. Lays flat on the floor on both sides.

Mike I agree on the decal. I too think the spacing is correct for "fingers". I know that it makes more sense, but I also know that on a warning decal, they wording isn't always right. Back in the 70's when this thing was made, it was likely printed in the USA. But nowadays, so much of that stuff gets printed in another country and doesn't always translate well. Plus, it's amazing what gets past some engineers. They're better at math than spelling, lol.

I've been enjoying your work thread on this snow blower. Thanks for sharing it (they are work).

On the decal, here's what OldSkull suggested back in 2014: http://onlycubcadets.net/forum/showthread.php?t=35083 (scroll down to #3).

This was suggested for a QA-42A, but it states (plural) "fingers". Like cadetmike, nothing solid, but I'd lean that way.

Keep us posted.

I found this on CL, is it the same tiller you have Mr John?

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.
