Default QA42 snow thrower
Is there some trick to getting everything lined up when trying to bolt on the QA blower to my 127? It seems to me there is some trick I'm missing. It took me at least half an hour and one blood blister later I finally got both sides in place and the pins underneath all lined up at once. The darn thing is so heavy to move and wiggle into place.

Be thankful that it is not a 450, 451 or 551. those are real brutes to get lined up and in place too.

You should do a #2 tiller.

Don't know about the 127's
but I find on dirt/uneven surfaces on the 782's, it is easier for me to mount the mule drive/gear box first,-- then slide the thrower up to it and put the lower shaft in, to marry the 2 together.
You do have to put the spline shaft into the yoke, before you slide it all the way together.
And it makes them easier to move around/store/lift as 2 units.
But it is just my way of skinning a cat.

I used to have a haben 42" snowblower. I ended up trading it for an old sears tractor. Not much room for fingers to help line everything up.

Putting my QA42 on my 125 I found the best "trick" ( besides having two 125s ) is to put a handtruck under the center of the blower housing and to line it up that way.

I do end up using the "universal adjective" quite a bit if I have to install it myself. An extra set of hands is a big 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.
