Question 450 snow blower on my 1811

Just bought the snow blower, haven't hooked it up yet, waiting on a lift linkage part I ordered. Any words of wisdom before I get it hooked up? Anybody else out there with that set up?

Ok, got it hooked up tonight, flipped the pto switch and I heard a click but pto on tractor didn't spin, so it seems like the switch works but maybe something in between, any idea?

Also, GT383mag I agree with putting on chains and weights, this snowblower weighs a lot!

It is a heavy blower. But will blow like crazy (I have a 450 on an 1811) Weights and chains, yep.

Check the belt tension. If you hear the click with the PTO switch it likely means the mag clutch is engaging, but maybe slipping on the belt? (the blower has a toggle to throw to put the tension on the belt).

But make sure everything turns freely by hand (in case some problem with the auger or blower gear box).

Wear a motorcycle helmet. Yes I am completely serious. Not only will you be warmer ( no heat loss thru your head ) but it's easier to see what you are doing.

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.
