Snow thrower questions
This is a QA 42A Snow Thrower. I believe it was previously used on an 82 series tractor. It had the 5/8 inch pulley. I plan to restore this unit and use it on a model 149.
DSCN1543 RS.jpg Is this lift bracket factory original, or is it a PO modification? DSCN1551 RS.jpg This transfer shaft is showing some wear. Should it be replaced? I ask because the part is a bit pricey. Transfer Shaft

That is not the original lift bracket - the originals are quite a bit shorter and don't bend out - I'm sure he bent those out to clear the side panels on his x82. I like these snow throwers - hard to beat and they do a good job.
Good luck!

Do you think it will work on my 149, or should I start looking for replacement?

QA 42A Problems
DSCN1573 RS.jpg
The sprocket on the auger is welded on. I now have the bearings and collars off. The shaft (spindle) end is loose and will fall inside the auger tube, if you let it. I know this can't be correct. How is the sprocket supposed to attach to the auger? If it is welded, what is the proper length of the spindle?

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.
