Picture of a QA42 ==PLEASE!
Hello fellow enthusiasts. I was hooking up my QA42 snow blower for the first time since I bought it and I do not know how the chute turning rod hooks up to the crank. On the snow blower itself, there is a "paddle" that spins on two of the four posts that are on that paddle. So, how does the chute turning rod hook up to that paddle? HELP....I'm in deep with a rod and a paddle that I don't know how to use!!!!
  Thanks in advance!!! Cub Cadet 123

Yes Matt....that is what I am talking about. Thanks for your fast response. Where do I get a coupler sleeve, like what you have? Mine currently has a flat paddle in the snowblower part. The paddle has 4 prongs (North-South-East-West directions) coming out of it, 2 are in the cotter pin holes. Is that an original piece?

You're talking about the U-joint, I think. The OEM one is a HORRIBLE, flimsy, stamped-steel piece. I replaced mine with this die-cast U-joint from McMaster-Carr, part number 6445K3. (www.mcmaster.com) You'll need to drill two holes, one in each side of the U-joint so you can attach it to the rotator shafts with either roll pins (what I eventually added to the one pictured) or cotter keys.

Matt,
I was able to buy the part with the missing piece on it, so I didn't need to re-engineer the turning shoot. On the left is the replacement piece that I bought and on the right is the old piece with just the rotating paddle without the turning rod bracket. Thanks again for your help!

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.
