Josh O.,
On WHAT debate? Who's wanting to debate?

It can't be that you're referring to my questions to Jim L regarding his Cub engines or that you're referring to Frank's issues with testing a coil?

Sounds like someone should post a question about high test gas vs regular. That might just get a repeat rally started.

Just kidding Charlie...

Wayne, lets kick it up a notch, BAM! <font size="-2">hydros vs gear drives)</font>

Don't anyone really even think of that during the holidays.

Kraig, i remember seeing a pic of a christmas village and santas reindeer beeing cubs on here, any idea what im talking about... i know someone refrenced that all the cubs were hydros...AKA girl cubs

 

[kmcconaughey]

Matt, Are you referring to David Kirk's photo with the Nativity Scene? I'll see if I can dig it up.

Here's David Kirk's:

Or could it be this one that Kendell posted?

 

[digger]

Man, that's an easy one to solve!

The ULTIMATE/BEST Cub Cadet is a FEMALE/Zig-Zag/HYDRO that uses Regular Gas with just a hint of MMO that's shaken, not stirred!

PERIOD!

THE END!

...and can be scared into starting when she gets stubborn. Frank Snerd take note:

The 149's a girl????? With this pair of weights hangin' between it's rear wheels??

<font size="+1">GOOD ONE, DIGGER!</font>

 

[bbrigham]

Oh but hydro's are girls...I got proof.....

 

[aschumacher]

I ain't goin' near this one!

 

[kide]

Tell ya what, if the 129's a girl, she sure is tough (takes Godzilla to light her lights....) ( or maybe she's kinky...

)

I'm gonna leave now..........

I am using a QA42 frame and drive with a CW36 snowthrower on my 105.
The belt seems too short. I have the adjusted the plate and angle drive all the way up and it is still almost too tight to get on.
I could force it but it seems odd that the belt should be so tight.
I cross referenced the belt. The one I have is 3/8 by 28 and it is segmented.
This is IH-487043 and it seems like the correct belt.
Am I missing something?

 

[kmcconaughey]

Tom, that sounds like the correct belt. Are you SURE the gear box is adjusted all the way up? I use a QA42 on a 125 and there's plenty of room to slip the belt on.

 

[kide]

Tom:
I think you need the IH-55053-C1, which is for that application, using the QA42a frame...it's 30"

 

[dross]

Kendell, this place should be PG, at least cover em up. (you kinow godzilla is a girl too, right)
Move along nothing to see here?

 

[klejeune]

Isn't there a pic of a local parade where the Cub Cadet dealer rigged up 4 hydro cubs (149's I think) pulling a "sleigh"? I think that's what Matt is looking for.

Oh, and obviously there are male Cubs and female Cubs cause they keep multiplying around my place every nine months or so. hahahahaha!!!!

 

[teroberts]

Kraig and Kendall,
I took one of the mounting bolts off and the plate was at the end of the slot. There is no more adjustment. The 30 belt would work but I just discovered another problem. When I try to attach the CW36 to the QA42 frame the drive shaft is too long. The 42 shaft is longer still.
I suppose I could fab a new frame but I need to get this out of the shop so I can use my wood working tools. Christmas will soon be here and everyone wants bird feeders.
I have 2 walk behind blowers that work fine and I don't mind using them.
I think I am going to try to sell or swap my collection of snowthrowers for a push plow.
Pushing stuff around would probably be just as much fun.
Or I might start looking for a tractor that will spin the QA42.
I had thought of putting a bigger motor on the 105 but I hate to break it up since it is in nice shape and original.

As always, thank you for all the help.
