Default Snowblower advise

I recently picked up my first cub, a 127. Now I need a mower deck and snowblower. I found one for sale a couple towns over off of a 147. He’s asking $100. I don’t know any other information at this time. I’m assuming it should fit? What are your guys thoughts?

So you want to know if it will fit or if the price is fair?

The 127 and 147 will share like units. The 100$ price seems very fair. Do you know the model number? QA36 Or QA42 will work

It looks complete, I'd be checking the gear box to see if the teeth are in good condition, as that can be a costly repair.
( gears are NLA)

Yes I wanted to make sure it would fit and the price is fair. I emailed asking about the model number or even just the size with no response yet.

As far as the gears go, I could probably just turn the gearbox by hand and feel for any abnormal resistance or backlash? I don’t think I will be taking the gearbox apart in his yard to check it. Not being familiar with these, I assume they are a sealed unit filled with gear oil.

Thanks for the info.

That will work on your 127. Looks to be a QA-42A. Price is fair as long as, like others have said, the gears aren’t missing teeth. The models that will fit your tractor are CW-36, CC-36, CC-42, QA-36, QA-42, QA-36A, and QA-42A. I run a CC42 and it’s great. Xtreme Motor Works makes a lot of replacement parts for the snow throwers.

Looks pretty straight and not all beat to hell. Gearbox is the big thing on those. They do an ok job blowing snow, but nothing like a newer 2 stage. Also they kinda suck to pick up with a manual lift. You’ll also need an implement lift bracket and a different lift rod (I believe) for it

Edit: never mind. I thought it said 149. Lift rod should work. But you’ll still need the lift bracket

There are 3 or 4 bolts ( earlier ones has 3) holding a sheet metal cover on the
gear box, if the thrower is positioned so the cover is up, it can be easily removed to inspect the gears without fluid/grease loss.
But one needs to displace some of the grease to see the gears.
Rotating gears, without visual inspection, will not always reveal gear damage.
Jeff makes shafts,-- and bearings/seals are available from common sources.
The big gear usually is the one to shell teeth but it is not a common fault.
Gears usually break because someone sluggged it with an unseen brick or log.
@ $100 it is not a bad price, I've seen gear box's sell for that.
They made a 2 & 4 paddle auger, that looks like a 2 paddle, I like 4 paddles but never tried a 2 paddle to compare.

Does anyone know the weight of a QA-42? Is it something that two people can lift into the bed of a pickup without blowing backs out? I’m going to look at it Friday. If I can find a truck to borrow, and it’s in good shape, it will be going straight to the shop.

It will fit in a suv,
and if you pull the bottom pin and 2 top links, the mule & gearbox will separate from the thrower, making it even easier to lift.

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.
