The Mtd Cub Cadet White 180-050 snow blower represents a line of snow removal machines built for residential use, likely produced from the late 1990s into the early 2000s. These models were generally powered by a Tecumseh engine, typically ranging from 5 HP to 8 HP. Some configurations featured an electric start option for easier starting in cold weather. Being a two-stage snow blower, the 180-050 utilizes an auger to break up the snow and an impeller to throw it. The auger system is designed to efficiently gather snow and direct it towards the impeller, which propels the snow through the chute. Clearing widths typically ranged from 24 to 26 inches, with an intake height around 20-21 inches, enabling it to handle moderate snowfalls. The throwing distance could reach up to 30-40 feet, depending on snow conditions. These models typically featured a wheel drive system with multiple forward and reverse speeds, providing good maneuverability. The chute was manually controlled, allowing for directional adjustments. While not always standard, some models may have included a headlight. These snow blowers are best suited for homeowners and property managers dealing with moderate snowfall on paved surfaces like driveways and walkways. They provide a good balance of power and maneuverability for residential snow removal.

Maintenance Tips
- Inspect Auger and Impeller: Regularly check the auger blades and impeller for wear, damage, or bending. Replace worn or damaged parts promptly to maintain optimal snow-clearing performance.
- Check and Replace Shear Pins: Shear pins protect the auger and gearbox from damage. Inspect them before each use and replace any that are broken or missing. Always use the correct replacement shear pins specified for your model.
- Change Engine Oil Annually: Perform regular oil changes according to the manufacturer's recommendations. Use the correct type and weight of oil specified in your owner's manual to ensure proper engine lubrication and longevity.
- Use Fuel Stabilizer: Add fuel stabilizer to the gasoline before storing the snow blower for the off-season. This prevents fuel degradation and buildup in the carburetor, ensuring easier starting next winter.
