Belt size needed.

Auto parts store, those look like generic parts store lights.
Probably cheaper to buy new ones than to look for just the lenses.

Does anyone know the part number for tail light lense cover or where i can get some? (See pic for what I'm talking about)View attachment 158479

They do not look like OEM.
I believe OEM were single bulbs.

These look like possible Trailer Side Marker Lights.

I bought 3/8 by 28in v belt for my qa 36in snowblower. I can't seem to get the belt to go over the pto. I got the belt into this position. (See image) also have the tensioner scewed all the way clockwise. Any advice would be appreciated. Edit i have tensioner screwed all the way anti-clockwise

 

[mgonitzke]

The adjustment is counter-clockwise to tighten. Turn it all the way the other way.

This and more useful info can be found in the manual for the snowthrower: http://ccmanuals.info/pdf/QA 36 & 42 Snowthrower Operators Man.pdf

What Matt said ,You have to loosen these 4 bolts also.

 

[bklipa]

According to your picture the plate with the gear box mounted to it that has the slotted holes is in the down position. You needed to loosen the four bolts where the slots are and raise that plate up so that the bottom of the slots are all the way up. This will raise your pulley that is attached to your gear box. Once you get the belt on and adjusted then you can tighten the bolt.

 

[mgonitzke]

If it is assembled correctly, those 4 bolts should not be loosened. There are supposed to be spacers in there so it will slide as the adjuster is rotated.

Thanks everyone for the advice I got the belt on. Like this guy said the snowblower slides up and down as you losen or tighten the tensioner.

I have a question about the tire chains I have. do I have the tire chains in the correct orientation? (See image) this is my first time installing tire chains, so I don't want to screw it up.

If you are driving over them, then they are correct. The Bars in the cross chains are made to contact the road, not the tires.
The hookups on the end of your chainnlooks the sdme on each sidelink so not all the info on the Link from Digger pertains to you.

Thank you, I got the tire chains on following the instructions.

You would be better off with 2 link chains instead of 4 link.

Be careful, that style of chains with the grousers will really raise Cain with your driveway & sidewalks if you should spin on some ice.

Oh boy, this could be opening another can of worms. Like the Hy-tran discussions.
I've used 4 link and made them 2 link, personally, I'm not convinced one is better than the other under different circumstances.

I agree with this guy. I didn't personally notice a particularly rough ride. It only became rough when in garage with no snow on the floor. Anyway on to my question. What hight should the snowblower be off the ground for gravel? I currently have the skid shoes adjusted so the bottom of the snowblower is about a quarter inch off the ground.

More than 1/4 for sure.
The way the snowblower and plow guys do it by me, is that the first few snows, they keep the skids about 2" off the ground. They leave the 2" and let the cars pack it in. A nice compacted snow on the stones will allow future snow removal without the skids digging in.
I dont remember reading it....do you have weights on the back end? You'll need some to compensate for the Blower.

Not a can of worms or anything else, just another option is all.
