QA-42A problems
Last nights snow brought my thrower to its knees today. I picked up my first CC Snowthrower this past fall, didn't have much spare time to do anything but get it mounted to the 102. Based on what I have read it really needs, at the very least some cleanup and a coat of "slip-plate" thru the discharge chute. At times the snow just seems to fall out the chute and lands on the top of the auger housing other times it just plugs. I had about a 24" deep drift on the sidewalk and just couldn't get thru. Resorted to the "Simple-city" walk behind for the sidewalk and used the Cub for some cleanup just so I could have some fun.

Sounds like the PTO or the PTO belt is slipping. Watch the drive shaft that runs the auger to see if it is slowing down when the problem occurs.

go to TSC and get some of that graphite ezglide.
My blower was doing exactly what yours did and Wild Bill advised me to get some and it works like a top, even on heavy wet snow!. check it out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EK2Lh8TjodI

If it's a "new to you" blower make sure somebody didn't put the wrong pulley on it before you got it. I bought a QA-42 for my 129 this Fall and put it on my tractor and it would barely throw the snow. It had a 4.75" pulley on it in place of the correct 3.5" pulley. Also there was no spline key holding the "wrong" pulley on the shaft so the pulley was also slipping. Replaced the pulley and man that sucker will chuck some snow now!

I'm pretty sure the OEM pulley is actually 4.5" in diameter, which is closer to what was on there than what you installed. If you add a smaller pulley, make sure all of the rotating parts are in excellent condition. Grease often. Oh, and only use a cast iron pulley so nobody gets hurt.

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.
