Need a bit of advice on getting my new old CW-36 Snowthrower up and running. And had a couple of questions.
1. I need a belt for this thing and have no reference in the manual that Craig graciously emailed to me. Something I can get at NAPA?
2. The little spring steel shear pin hold down clip has broken, and the pin is kinda hacked up too. Where could I get these?
3. The manual says to add oil to the little gearbox, but all I see is a small drain hole on the side, down low. Doesn’t look like I can get much oil to stay in there. Does it fill here like a rear differential on my ‘66 MG, just up until it dribbles out?
Thanks for your advice on this contraption, just don’t let it start snowing yet!! Dave

Jim M,
Depends on what ya mean by "without much fabricating?". It can be done but the loader setup for a Wheel Horse is quite a bit different than a Cub. If memory serves me right here, the WH setup attachs with long brackets to the very rear of the tractor, where the Cub mount is about mid-tractor. Can it be done? YES!

David P.,
1.) The part number for the belt for a CW-36 snowthrower is IH-487043-R1.
2.) What spring steel hold down? Can you be more specific on where this is?
3.) You should remove the cover plate and drain the old oil. I believe grease can be used inplace of the oil. My QA42 snowthrower had grease in it.

Thanks Kraig, Guess I'll see if NAPA can cross reference that belt number. The spring thing is a folded piece of metal that goes on top of (side of) the 3" (or so) gear on the side of the thrower on the front gear. It applies pressure to the head of the shear pin, keeps it from falling out. There really wasn't any oil in the gearbox, guess thats why it was rusted together. Parts breaker to the rescue! Do you think I could just pump a bunch of grease in that hole and call it good?

Clear coat! noper, not on anything I own, grin

David P., hmmm, I thought they used a spirol pin on those like they use on the BB36. Perhaps yours has been modified. As for the gear box, if it were mine I'd remove the cover and check things out inside there and give it a good flush to remove any rust and then I'd fill it with grease and put the cover back on.
David P., I may have sent you something on the CW36 but it would have been in jpg format not PDF. I have 2 versions of the CW36 manual I didn't look in the second version. But now I see what you are looking at. I don't have my CPE-2 handy to look up the part number for that clip. Hopefully someone else does.
Hi gang,
How hard is it to install a creeper gear in a 72? I see them on eBay occasionally and my tractor has the holes for the creeper controls. I'm thinking it'd be neat to have it.
Man, I must be well on my way to becoming a CC whacko. $50 for a tractor with a bad rod, $375 for a replacement motor, $65 for a 3pt hitch, considering a plow and harrow.......

Curt, it's called yellow and white fever and there is no cure, only temporary relief from occasional purchase of more yellow and white equipment. Red equipment is also known to provide temporary relief.
Kurt R,
Nice canopy, not impressed with the tractor though. It's got the WRONG style grill casting, hehehe
