180-206 parts and accessories
The Mtd Cub Cadet White 180-206 snow blower, manufactured during the late 1990s and early 2000s, was a popular choice for homeowners needing reliable snow removal. Typically powered by a gas engine, this two-stage snow thrower offered a respectable clearing width, making quick work of driveways and walkways. Its robust design and ease of use contributed to its enduring popularity.
The Mtd Cub Cadet White 180-206 series was a line of two-stage snow blowers designed for residential use, produced from the late 1990s to the early 2000s. These models typically featured a Tecumseh engine, often ranging from 5 to 8 horsepower, with some models offering an electric start option for easier cold-weather starts. The two-stage design utilized an auger to collect snow and an impeller to throw it, providing greater throwing distance and the ability to handle heavier, wetter snow. Clearing widths generally ranged from 20 to 26 inches, with an intake height suitable for tackling moderate snowfall. Throwing distances could reach up to 30 feet, depending on snow conditions. The drive system typically employed wheels with multiple forward and reverse speeds, allowing for variable control. Chute rotation was usually manual, offering a wide range of directional control. While not typically equipped with features like headlights or heated grips, the 180-206 series was known for its durability and effectiveness in handling average residential snow removal needs. Its simple design made it a relatively easy machine to maintain, contributing to its appeal among homeowners facing moderate to heavy snowfall.

Maintenance Tips
- Inspect Auger and Impeller: Regularly check the auger blades and impeller for any signs of wear, damage, or bending. Replace worn or damaged parts promptly to maintain optimal performance.
- Shear Pin Replacement: Always keep extra shear pins on hand. If the auger stops suddenly, it's likely a shear pin has broken. Replace it with the correct type to protect the drive system.
- Fuel Stabilizer: Before storing your snow blower for the off-season, add fuel stabilizer to the gas tank to prevent fuel degradation and carburetor issues.
- Skid Shoe Adjustment: Adjust the skid shoes to the appropriate height for your surface. Setting them too low can cause excessive wear, while setting them too high can leave a thin layer of snow behind.
