Snowthrower question
 

Will a QA-36A snowthrower fit an 82 series cub cadet? I have a chance to get one sure cheap in very good shape. Just curious if it will fit my 582 Special or my 1811? Thank you for your help.

It will fit but at minimum you will need to switch the pulley to 5/8" wide.

Three things need to be done.
* Change the Drive Pulley
* Change the Drive Belt
* Change the Upper Link to the Mount.

Cool thank you everyone.

Just curious who sells these parts Roland? Thank you for the part numbers by the way.

I believe xtreme motorworks sells the links. One thing to think about is getting the extensions that xtreme has to make the 36” take a bigger bite. Or make your own. 36” is narrower than the tractor and you can find yourself in a bad spot.

Saying this trying to be funny, doubtful it would work on account of the distance, but he could solve the"too narrow for the tractor" and need to extend part of the issue by buying my QA 42a.... Just n idea.....

The Belt is available numerous places.

The Pulley is still available from Cub Cadet.

The upper link is NLA from CC. Find a used pair or xtreme motor works has them.

I'm not so sure you need the upper links, I mounted a QA42A on my 782 and it lift 3.5" off the ground with the straight links and chute doesn't come anywhere near the hood.
