Hey thanks Charlie...Earl Ford...Super thing if you could document your work on your QA42A...I think I have the basic idea in detail of how to go about changing out the auger bearings, but seeing how it's done is priceless..My QA42A has not ever seen much use at all..I'm not sure how old it is, but will presume it was built in the 70s..Even though it original and hasn't seen much snow, I would think that the grease in those sealed auger bearings has dried up by now..I want to avoid having a failure when there is a foot of snow on the ground and below freezing with the wind howling! I bought the thrower late last year and decided I'd get through the winter with the push plow mounted on my 126..It worked out pretty well..Loaded the tires with 5 gallons of -20 windshield washer fluid and mounted 2 link chains..Combined with my size, the 126 barely broke traction pushing through deep snow going up hill....I think that throwing the snow out of the path of the tractor will be a better all around method of cleaning the snow out of the drive and parking area..
I'll look forward to seeing your documentation.
Does anyone have a URL to a parts diagram for the QA42A thrower, or have a manual copy they could perhaps post here?
Thanks
John Mitchell
