I would guess since it's a snow blower it doesn't have an air filter. Filters plug up on snow blowers so it's common to not have one.

ok, I was beating my head in wondering when I took it off and where I put it.

have not used it in over 2 years, just not enough snow. But the drift monster has returned to the driveway this year.

time to fire it up.

I agree. Plus the fact that you are not blowing dirt, therefore no dust. So there is no need for one.

I've always wondered about how good the traction is with those trac drives. It would seem that the point of contact is greater so weight would be less thus less traction.

A friend of mine has one and it goes good enough that he put a sulky on the back of it, of course his driveway is smooth and level blacktop so I'm not sure how well it would pull going up a hill.

I purchased a new surplus "snow" engine when I built my woodsplitter,,,,, no air filter,,,,



I figure splitting wood does not kick up much dust,,,,,,,,,,,



What do you expect for $150,,,,,,,



I have thought about sticking a foam "prefilter" under the cover, but, it hasn't happened, yet!!

oh this trac blower is awesome. I honestly like it better than my tractor mounted blower. only thing it don't like is slush, but then no blowers like slush. I have to get some pictures of it. I don't know why I don't have any. I would like to have a bigger horse power one. Mine is a 5 hp 24" cut they make a few bigger now. I think at the time I got this I had a smaller yard and drive and didn't need the bigger one. but now I have 15X the drive I did have, so would like the big one.

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.
