Default QA-42a lift rod
I just bought a QA-42a for my 125 this weekend. I believe it is complete except for a lift rod. I was wondering if anyone could post a picture of a lift rod and maybe get me some measurements so I can make one for my thrower?

There were different lengths of lift rods. I have a QA42A for my 2182 and I don't know if the rod length is the same. In fact, the PO gave me two different length lift rods.

It's literally a rod with a 90° bend on each end, and a hole for a cotter pin. I can measure the diameter if it helps.

As far as length, maybe this will help: http://www.xtrememotorworks.com/Snowblower%20Parts.html

measure the length between holes and make one, easy enough.
I'd make one end adjustable, as in turnbuckle or clevis.
Do you have the lift rod bracket for the 125?
You will need that

I don’t have one of those, I was planning on just making one but if there’s a place I can buy one online I’ll probably just do that

Morning JoshM Here is a picture off of the QA-42 I think it is the same as the
42A
but hopefully someone will clue me in if it is not.
It has a few bends and even a twist, don't know if that is original or
custom from before I owned it. It is made of 1/2" round stock and
is 31 and 1/2 inch between the 90's.

Probably correct but got the bends from being locked and not floating when riding up over something at speed!

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.
