Question QA36A Snowthrower Bearings
I have recently obtained a QA36A snow thrower for my Cub 129. However I need to replace the auger bearings. I have the bearings but am stumped as to how to loosen the auger enough to be able to slide it out of the housing. Any tips ?

I'll assume you have the bearing holders loosened up.

There's a locking collar on the bearings. You'll need to loosen that up. Theoretically the auger will slide on a bearing a bit, and you can move it one way and free the other end up far enough to get it out. Reality is that they never seem to move, and it's a struggle. You might find yourself with a big pry bar bending the housing a little to get enough room to wiggle one out, or beating the auger shaft from the outside to try to get it to move.

It's not a delicate operation.

That worked after I got the collars loose it did not take much to pry the auger out of the housing. I just did not want to force anything if I was not supposed to. Thanks for the advice !

Excellent. I had my QA36B apart last year, and the bearings were pretty well seized to the shaft. Not a lot of fun. Took some emory cloth to them before I put it back together, and re-assembly was a lot better than disassembly.

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.
