QA42A on 147 ?
I bought a 147 with a qa42a on it, I replaced the homemade lift rod paddle and homemade lift rod with the proper parts. The problem I found now is that the lift rod hits the footrest and the front axle. I also fixed one of the qa pins and had to tighten both qa frame shoulder bolts, but it didnt solve my issue any. Is it normal for the rod to ride that close to the footrest and axle or am I missing something? I could just build an extension on the snow blower lift point but would still like to know if its installed correctly. Thanks for any help.

I put a 2x4 under each wheel and lowered the blower and electric lift all the way down and came up with a rod 31.5" that I made.

that is pretty close to mine.With the elift bolt hole,normally the rod goes in there,you will have to drill a hole below it.

Some follow up on the 147, I drilled another hole in the electric lift paddle and that improved my clearance from the foot rest but not the axle. So I ended up building an extension on the snow blower lifting point too. I made the extension so that it slipped over the lift point and attached with a bolt in the original hole, that way I can still convert it back to original without any extra holes or welds on the snow blower. The clearances are much better now, and the axle can piviot without pushing up on the lift rod.

The parallel lift linkage indicates a QA42A meant for a tractor with serial number 400,001 and higher. (Wide frames)
For 400,000 and lower a special adapter package was required. Per the manual: http://onlycubcadets.net/forum/showthread.php?t=7431 Looks like your getting close to getting it to work though.

I saw that an adapter package was needed, but from what I could find online and the book at the cub dealer it only contains parts to attach the lift rod to the lift handle of the narrow frames since the wide frames came with that built into the handle/ rock shaft.

It's not in the parts book. But if you look in the operators manual it is. I'm pretty sure you are just supposed to cut the bracket as needed. Lew can tell you. He has them, I've seen him post pics of them recently.

If you look at the pictures in the manuals for the QA 36/42 and the QA 36/42A the arm on the lift bracket looks longer on the QA 36/42 than it is on the QA 36/42A.

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.
