Putting QA42-A Snow thrower on a 70's IH Cub Cadet 1450

- Winter temps finally showed up and it is time to get the 70's international harvester cub cadet 1450 ready for a little snow removal.
With the 1250, 1450, and 1650 series you need to use the qa36-a / qaqa42-a (note the -a on the end) snow thrower for this series because of the wide frame.
I did make a mistake on the belt size. The belt is actually a 29" legth 1/2 v belt.

#SnowRemoval - Jak na to + styl
Thanks , you jus made things a whole lot easier for me ,
l just bought the tractor and the blower for $300 , with watching this video, lt will be a breeze
Thanks again😁
Very cool that you have a vintage tractor and keep it running. Even neater that you have an IH snow blower to go with it!
god u bring back memorys ! you can't beat them older cc s I had twin 17hp with big twin snow blower I bought them both used and I worked both them hard for 14 years mowing 5 acres as well as snow removalin winter and never had a major repair other than tune ups blades ect. sold it when I moved to Florida them older cast iron motors were the best good luck on your winter snow removal and thanks for the memorys !
+the shadow people That is really cool to hear. Thank you for sharing!
Thankyou
No idea how much time you saved me! I have a 1450 as well with the same snow blower and was having trouble finding any good manual for putting this thing on. Glad I could find someone who knew what they were doing!!
I just found your channel last night while watching some Wranglerstar videos. I have watched a handful of your videos and have loved every one of them. The filming is excellent.
I run a 1982 Wheel Horse to clear snow and I can agree with you that the old things were built to last and that is why they are still around today. One tip for doing your chains, jack you the back of the tractor and deflate the tires. makes it alot easier to wrap and secure the chains. lookin forward to more videos through the winter. Thanks!
+Kwa1ski Great idea. I might have to try that. Seems like I spend a bunch of time messing around trying to get them just right. Thanks for sharing!
+Kwa1ski followed your tip this year about jacking it up. Was a piece of cake. Can't believe I didn't do that sooner. Thank you !
I can relate to that. Old and beat up but still have some get up and go.
+radicaljoe Love it! Thanks for sharing!
I love them old Cubs, I have an early 2000's version and cant believe how much better they used to be back in the day.
Great video! Off I am to try it. 10-17 inches coming her in NY tonight. Thanks!!!
I had no idea what the video was about when I read the title! but 2 things I wanted to say now that I have watched it: 1) I love how beautiful this video was, even while being incredibly practical in the knowledge you were conveying - you are developing such a great eye for film-making! and 2) heck yeah, things from the 70s are awesome and still kickin! (she says, clearly defensive about her age and usefulness) ;-) Take care brother.
+Karen Berry :) Thanks Karen.
Good job with the music and the scenery. It looks like the beginning of a good movie.
Your videos are just awesome!! Very well done!!
+Wayne's Homestead Thanks Wayne. I really enjoy your videos as well. Specially seeing some of the beautiful country side and rolling hills in your areas. Thanks for watching!
Hello! I enjoy the video. I have a 1450 as well. Hope to see more vids on your 1450 in action!
+John Lazar Cool beans. Just rock solid machines and such a simple design.
interesting video, older things were built to last!
Hooks up a lot like the blade on my kubota. Looks like your ready to fling some snow God bless buddy
+cokeman250 I bet that think is a work horse with the diesel engine on it. Thanks for sharing!
Nice video Eric. I was in shorts today so I'm having trouble even thinking about winter.
+Carolina Prepper Tommy go check out the video I just posted, it will get you thinking about winter.
+Carolina Prepper Shorts in a deer stand at this time of year is pretty hard to wrap my head around. lol Just rub it in. :)
You got it on before you needed it congratulations!
+Holly Laughter Ha, I try to stay ahead because of a few hard lessons learned. I felt like I was begging for it this year and am really glad to have it crossed off the list. Thanks for taking the time to watch.
Looking forward to seeing a video of it in action over the next days...weeks...months? First light snowfall here in the UK last night.
Ready to roll!
I need to figure out how to make this life possible let alone practical for myself
i know old video. tought to find the rite info. but is there a spring on the blower somewhere if so where abouts.. ty. the parts diagram dont show them.
Nice video,
+James Leigh, Wood an Steel Thanks!
How do you adjust the height of the blower? The hydraulic lift is on lifting mine about half way or 1 inch of the ground.
Where did you get the rear tire at?
I still have my snowblower attachment from the IH cub cadet tractor I sold off. Makes me wonder if it could be mounted to an atv and powered by a separate motor.
What size is the pulley on the Snow Thrower? I have the same Snow Thrower and the pulley is too large and hits the frame of the tractor on my 1975 Cub Cadet 1450. I need to replace the pulley with a smaller one and don't know what size to purchase. Thanks for the insight. I bought this snow thrower from a farm auction and it was on a 1980 Cub Cadet, thus the wrong size of pulley, I assume.
I believe the stock one is 4". I have a slightly smaller pulley (3 1/2") which makes it spin faster. I would strongly suggest not going smaller than a 3" CAST IRON/STEEL pulley. I think the stock part number (4") is H-485247-R91
Would that blower fit on a Cub Cadet 108?
What size is the belt and or do you have a part number for it
15/32" x 30" part number IH-55053-C1
love the old equipment just was built a little better.............what state are you in
+Pinetar Robyn Homestead We am in Minnesota. We are working on saving up for something similar to what you have with a bucket on the front. Thanks for watching!
How do you replace the blower /pto belt. That tensioner is tight..
Thanks for the video, can you share any insights on this? I am looking at a 61 original. it has the original smaller narrow rear tires. the motor has been upgraded to the 8hp. the unit comes with a snow thrower. in your a opinion will this unit have enough power to climb a 7% grade driveway and throw snow?
Does it really go on in about 6 minutes? I have heard on the newer ones it can take as long as 45 minutes.

What size belt do you use with yours
