180-327 parts and accessories
The Mtd Cub Cadet White 180-327 snow blower, manufactured in the late 1980s and early 1990s, was a popular choice for homeowners due to its robust gas engine and reliable two-stage design. With a clearing width suitable for medium-sized driveways, this snow thrower provided efficient snow removal and was known for its durable construction and ease of use.
The Mtd Cub Cadet White 180-327 snow blower was a widely used machine during the late 1980s and early 1990s. These snow blowers were equipped with a Tecumseh engine, typically ranging from 5 HP to 8 HP, and some models offered an electric start option for added convenience in colder climates. Being a two-stage snow blower, the 180-327 utilized an auger system to break up the snow and an impeller to throw it away from the clearing path. This model typically featured a clearing width between 24 and 26 inches, with an intake height around 20 inches, allowing it to handle moderate snowfalls. The throwing distance could reach up to 30-35 feet depending on snow conditions. The drive system was typically wheel-driven with multiple forward and reverse speeds, providing variable control. Manual chute controls allowed for adjusting the direction of the snow discharge. While features like headlights and heated grips weren't always standard, they were sometimes available on higher-end configurations. This snow blower was ideally suited for homeowners with medium-sized driveways in areas with moderate to heavy snowfall.

Maintenance Tips
- Regularly inspect the auger and impeller for damage and wear, replacing worn parts as needed to maintain optimal performance.
- Always use the correct shear pins for the auger to protect the drive system from damage caused by hard objects. Replace broken shear pins immediately.
- Check and adjust belt tension periodically to ensure proper power transfer from the engine to the auger and drive system.
- Change the engine oil according to the manufacturer's recommendations (typically every season or after a certain number of hours of use). Use fuel stabilizer during off-season storage to prevent fuel degradation and carburetor issues. Check and adjust skid shoes so scraper bar is in contact with the surface and auger housing is not.
