I will confirm that. I have one to look at, plus the parts book.

The QA's used the 3 tab gear box, but the the QAXXA's used a four. Your probably right, it's just for the 3 tab box. I honestly don't see why they wouldn't interchange. In this case, my guess is that the PO drilled the holes in the wrong spot. Or perhaps that mounting plate was even reproduced....... incorrectly.

Default QA36A snow thrower on a IH 147

I had the same problem putting a QA36A on my IH 147. The belt was rubbing on the left side as you look at the tractor from the front.
On my snow thrower the bar that the whole thing pivots on is 2 5/16 longer then the bracket. I was going to put a piece of pvc pipe on there for a spacer or bushing, but thought it might be to ridged and maybe crack a weld under the stress of operation. So as I was walking into the shop I spotted an old washing machine drain hose. You know the one that has a u shape at the top. I wacked 2 5/16 off of it. That gave just enough, and I mean just enough space to operate without rubbing, Its hard to see in the photo's but there is about 1/8 of an inch in there for clearance.
The manual mentions some sort of adapter for machines with serial numbers under 400,000 or some crazy number, maybe this is it! Good luck.

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.
