How to Install an Auger on a Cub Cadet Snow Thrower

Snow throwers or snow blowers are used to remove snow from sidewalks, driveways, and streets. A snow thrower has an auger on the front, that picks up the snow and forces it up and out of the chute which is located on the top of the machine. Cub Cadet snow throwers are gas powered and have auger blades that are protected by rubber covers. When the rubber covers of the auger blades wear down enough to reveal the metal arms of the blades, it is time to replace them.
