Cool getting ready for snow throwing

I realized that the 12" of snow that fell today I would need to bring it up a notch and put the QA42 on the 123 this morning,Now this was only a mowing tractor,so it needed the full package on it,thrower,extra weights,chains,lift arm and a oil change.

Took a few pictures of the process,seems like the wife didn't want to shoot any video,too cold so no action shots but the blower worked well with no belt slippage.

The snow didn't have a chance....

Looks good Lew

Nothing like a hydro for snow removal, you can always get the perfect speed.

I'm loving the hydraulic lift on the 125 I got from you. Makes lifting the QA42 easy. The WF PTO I put on yesterday works great too. Locks up great and drags the motor down burying the QA42 in the wet snow

Good to hear,this has a spring assist on it but it is still a bear to lift it.

I was going to put the thrower on the 782 but I realized I needed the larger pulley with the QA36A and the snow was piling up.

Gotta get that going as it has been sitting for 4 years in the same spot .17 horse's will make that snow fly to the next door neighbors driveway

My former 122 had both the IH spring assist plus the Brinly spring assist, that worked better but hydraulic is the way to go.

12 HP works pretty good, I image 17 HP would be even better

I had this same thought this fall, but never got it done!

Lew
Looking at your pictures again, I saw you didn't use the quick attach brackets I gave you. Makes attaching the snow thrower/blade/mule drive a single bolt and lock washer on each side. Much, much easier. No fumbling with a bolt, lock washer and nut.

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.
