That gearbox is from a QA36/42A , it has 4 mounting holes. The correct plate for that gearbox should have the mounting holes for the box slotted for side to side adjustment. The plates are different between the QA36/42A and the QA36/42. Take a look at one of the online parts suppliers like partstree at the two different blower mounting systems, you'll see what I'm talking about.

Seems he has a "Hybrid" snow thrower.

Maybe this would help....... QA36/42 Installation Manual

Yes it does.

Those are the things I'm not sure of, but I believe either/or of the gear box mounting plates can be bolted to either/or Quick Attach bracket. I'm also thinking that if the gear boxes are bolted to their correct plates, the input shaft on the two gear boxes will not be in exactly the same location with respect to where they end up once the gear box plates are bolted to the Quick Attach bracket. (that should be clear as mud)

And how come O.P.'s 127 does not have the QA latch assembly?
The pulley thing is entirely possible.

Hard to tell from here but it doesn't look like there is any evidence that the frame in the picture ever had the QA latches. Could it be a frame from a 123 with a 1X4/5 or 1X6/7 grill shell bolted to it?

I noticed the elongated gear box mounting holes in the exploded view. I did a refresh on my QA 42A this past fall and I'm not saying it isn't true, I just don't remember the holes being elongated, it is quite possible that I just overlooked it.

Unless someone else has a better idea, I think someone should suggest that he loosen the gear box mounting bolts and try to slide the gear box to the left.

I took another picture of the front of mounting plate and looks to be a little room where I can move to the right(FACING FRONT OF TRACTOR) to move the belt enough so it's not touching(RUBBING)! My gear box pulley is 4"OD, hoping that is the correct size pulley! Thanks!005.jpg

Mountings from the manuals, first is QA36 - 42, second is QA-36A-42A.
First one is narrow frame only, second fits wide or narrow.
You would need the correct (wide or narrow) lift bracket and pivot rod.

Seems like you figgered it out,it will move to the right as the holes are elongated.

That is the correct frame ,it has the notch cut out for the points cover removal,you cannot see the qa as it is behind the mounting bracket.

It's for any NF tractor. It is listed to fit a 127. You must have looked in the wrong place.

The snow thrower manual for the QA36/42 hosted by OCC is too old (6-1968)to show the 126, 127 usage.

The gearbox mounting plate is indeed for a 3-bolt box, you can see the square head bolt hole.

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.
