Cubs are far too fast in low gear and/or lack sufficient power (and live PTO) to run a snowblower
This is the reason for my doing this project. I want to find out for myself if the talk about the Cub being to fast is really true. I plan to do exactly as Rudi stated
.I have always believed that whatever was used would have to have an independant power source separate from the Cub, one where the actual speed of the augers and impellers would be much higher than can be developed from the Cubs PTO.. that way a creeper gear would not be needed.
When this project is over, we'll know the truth, fact or fiction
This blower was set-up to run directly off the clutch operated, verticle shaft, engine pulley and should be capable of an easy 3450rpm's, more than what I plan to run it at.
Maybe with a pto operated set-up, power and speed is a problem, but we plan to overcome these little "hurdles"
I already found out that the old tale of the Cub not being big enough or powerful enough to do anything but pull a "Little Red Wagon" is nothing but "HOG WASH"
I'll keep everyone posted, stay tuned
