Default QA-36 throws chain
Got a QA-36 snowthrower mounted on a Model 1450. Got The thrower used, missing connecting link on chain. Got connector links from central tractor, they wouldn't hold. Got connector links from cub dealer, they wont hold. The chain and sprokets do not appear to be worn badly. Is the inherent design poor, having the chain next to the auger, exposed to the snow and gravel that churns through? I think that stones are getting under chain and popping the connector link off.
Any help would be appreciated.

Make sure you are putting the clip for the master link with the open end trailing the direction of travel.
If not, the snow/ice will peel the spring clip off and the master link will come apart.
Also the chain needs to be snug, but not tight.
It should have a very slight sag at it's TIGHEST point

Default Thanks Ol George!
OH! Thanks so much, I can't believe I didn't think of the direction of travel. I feel stupid right now, I don't remember which way I put on the clip, but I bet it was backwards.

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.
