International Cadet 268 snow blower
I purchased a International Cadet 268 snow blower about 2 1/2 years ago. It was on FB for $150.00 running. I did not need to bring home another cub product and did not ask the wife for permission. While at work the price dropped to $100.00 so I took my lunch drove over, had him start it then loaded it in the back of my pickup. So I thought I would get it ready for winter use, nope haven't started it in 2 1/2 years. I wish I would have for the storm but nope. So my question is I have the manual and service manual, however I was wondering what should I do before or in addition to the basic service, oil change? what brand? what viscosity ? synthetic ? Should I add something to the fuel ? I do not have a garage to work in only the great outdoors. Any pointers would be helpful and appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Big snow is what happens when you dont have a blower ready!
Looking into amanual for 268.... IH recommends above 32 degree Fahrenheit 30 weight oil and between 32 and 0 degrees Fahrenheit 10 weight oil. Both meeting SE or SD requirements. I dont know when this manual was printed.

I have two of those snow blowers. They are a real work horse! Had the auger housing buried and they worked like magic. Troubleshooting, did you open up your petcock on the bottom of the gas tank before trying to start it? Remember to check gear oil level at top of auger in the center and to also grease up your grease zerks on the auger, one on each side. Check your fuel filterCib Cadet 123

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.
