The Mtd Cub Cadet White 180-352 is a two-stage snow blower designed for both residential and light commercial use. Produced primarily in the late 1980s and early 1990s, this model was a mainstay of the Mtd, Cub Cadet, and White Outdoor product lines. It's typically powered by a Tecumseh engine, ranging from 8 to 10 HP. Most models feature an electric start option for easier starting in cold conditions.

Depending on conditions, it can throw snow up to 30-40 feet. The drive system utilizes wheels with multiple forward and reverse speeds, offering good traction. Chute rotation is typically manual, allowing for directional control of the thrown snow. A headlight provides improved visibility during early morning or evening snow removal. While heated grips were not standard, they may have been available as aftermarket add-ons. The 180-352 is ideal for areas that experience moderate to heavy snowfall on driveways, sidewalks, and smaller parking lots.

Maintenance Tips
- Regularly inspect the auger and impeller for damage or wear. Replace worn auger paddles and ensure the impeller spins freely.
- Check and replace shear pins as needed. These protect the auger gearbox from damage if it encounters a hard object.
- Maintain proper belt tension for optimal performance. Slipping belts reduce throwing distance and can cause premature wear.
- Change the engine oil annually, or more frequently with heavy use, using the recommended oil type and viscosity.
