Default QA42A auger drum off/on
I'm not sure what the technical term is, but I removed the auger drum on my QA42A today in order to sand and paint it. I removed the 3 bolts on the side, but couldn't quite figure out how it came out from there. I took a crowbar and pried the side out just enough that I could get it off. however, I am almost certain that is not how I should have done it. I painted everything up and didn't get time to put it back on yet. So, I want to ask the experts how I ought to get it back in there so as not to damage anything or scratch up my paint job (I put EZ slide paint on...hope it works well). Thanks for any and all input.
Jason

Hey jfinney! Since nobody else is replying to your post thought I would, here's a link to a thread here on the same issue. http://onlycubcadets.net/forum/showthread.php?t=5946 Near the bottom you'll see my post on how I got my auger out, I put it back in the same way but put masking tape on the inside of thrower shell where the bearing end caps will want to scrape. I managed to get mine in with no harm done:biggrin2.gif:. Good luck and would love to see some pics!!

Sminkey,
Thanks for your reply and your link to the previous post. I feel better now, that's essentially how I did mine...just thought there might have been a more proper way to do it. My paint job isn't going to win any contests since it is black EZ slip...I wasn't worried about aesthetics as much as I was functionality. I wanted to avoid clogs and see how far this thing can chuck some snow!!!! last year it worked fine in powdery snow, but anything that was the least bit wet and it would clog up the chute. Again, thanks for your help. I'm assuming you got the chain over the cog first and then put things back in place?

No problem, I had my chain off and didn't put it on till last. I used the old master link and it failed on the 2nd run, went to hardware store and got a new master link and they gave it to me for free:biggrin2.gif:

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.
