Shift Rod Adjustment

To adjust the shift rod, proceed as follows:

Remove the hairpin clip and slide the shift rod connector up, to separate the upper shift rod from the lower shift rod. See Figure 10.

Place the shift lever into the sixth (6) position.

Rotate the shift arm clockwise (from the operator’s position) as far as it will go.

Thread the upper shift rod downward until the elbow on its lower end aligns with the hole found in the lower shift rod.

Reconnect the upper shift rod to the lower shift rod by reinserting the hairpin clip removed earlier and sliding the shift rod connector back down into place.

IMPORTANT: Make certain to check for correct adjustment of the shift rod as instructed under Final Adjustments in the Assembly Section, before operating the snow thrower.

SECTION 6: MAINTAINING YOUR SNOW THROWER

WARNING: Before lubricating, repairing, or inspecting, disengage all clutch levers and stop engine. Wait until all moving parts have come to a complete stop. Disconnect spark plug wire and ground it against the engine to prevent unintended starting.

Lubrication

Engine

Refer to the separate engine manual packed with your unit for all engine lubrication instructions.

IMPORTANT: When following instructions in separate engine manual for draining oil, be sure to protect frame to avoid oil dripping onto transmission parts.

Gear Shaft

Lubricate the gear shaft with 6-n-1 grease at least once a season or after every 25 hours of operation (available at automotive stores, or order part number 737-0170).

Refer to Figure 9.

IMPORTANT: Keep all grease and oil off of the rubber friction wheel and aluminum drive plate.

Drive and Shifting Mechanism

Lubricate at least once a season or after every 25 hours of operation. Remove the rear cover, lubricate any chains, sprockets, gears, bearings, shafts, and shifting mechanism at least once a season. Use engine oil or a spray lubricant. Avoid getting oil on the friction wheel rubber and aluminum drive plate. Refer to Figure 9.

There is a grease fitting on the top of the axle shaft which drives the rear track drive wheels on both sides of the unit. Grease these fittings every 25 hours or once a season.

Traction Control / Auger Control Lock

The cams on the ends of the control rods which interlock the traction drive and auger drive controls must be lubricated at least once a season or every 25 hours of operation. The cams can be accessed beneath the handle panel. Use a multi-purpose automotive grease.

826 4x4 specifications

The Cub Cadet 826 4x4 is a powerful and versatile snow blower designed for homeowners who face harsh winter conditions. It combines robust engineering with user-friendly features, making snow removal a more manageable task. This machine is equipped with a 26-inch clearing width, allowing it to tackle significant snow accumulations efficiently.

One of the standout features of the Cub Cadet 826 4x4 is its 4-wheel drive capability. This ensures that users can navigate snowy terrain with ease, providing enhanced traction and stability on slopes and uneven surfaces. The hydrostatic transmission allows for smooth speed adjustments and effortless maneuvering. This feature is particularly beneficial when operating in tight corners or delicate areas where precision is essential.

The snow blower is powered by a reliable 2-stage engine, which generates ample power for heavy-duty snow clearing. The two-stage system means that after the auger gathers snow, it is thrown out of the discharge chute with significant force, making it ideal for dealing with packed snow and deep drifts. The adjustable chute also allows users to direct the snow far away from the cleared area, preventing it from being blown back onto already cleared surfaces.

In terms of comfort, the Cub Cadet 826 4x4 prioritizes ease of use. It features heated hand grips that keep operators warm during extended periods of cold weather. Moreover, the large, easy-to-operate controls are designed to minimize fatigue, allowing users to focus on the job at hand. The machine’s generous fuel tank capacity ensures longer operation times without frequent refueling, adding to its convenience.

Durability is another key characteristic of the Cub Cadet 826 4x4. Built with high-grade materials, it is designed to withstand the rigors of winter use. The high-impact, snow-resistant construction ensures longevity, making it a smart investment for homeowners looking to manage snow effectively year after year.

In summary, the Cub Cadet 826 4x4 is an exceptional snow blower that combines power, technology, and user comfort. Its robust features make it suitable for tackling even the most challenging winter conditions, ensuring users can clear their paths quickly and efficiently. With its combination of durability, performance, and ease of use, the Cub Cadet 826 4x4 is a top choice for anyone looking to conquer snow this winter.
