310-181-352 parts and accessories
The Mtd Cub Cadet White 310-181-352 snow blower, a popular choice for homeowners and light commercial use, was typically manufactured in the late 1990s and early 2000s. These gas-powered, two-stage snow throwers offered a solid clearing width for tackling moderate to heavy snowfall. Known for their reliability and ease of use, the 310-181-352 provided dependable performance for residential snow removal.
The Mtd Cub Cadet White 310-181-352 series of snow blowers were primarily produced in the late 1990s and early 2000s, designed as a mid-range option for homeowners needing more power than a single-stage but not the bulk of a larger commercial unit. These models typically featured a Tecumseh engine, often around 5-6 horsepower, with some versions offering an electric start option for easier cold-weather starts. As a two-stage snow blower, the 310-181-352 utilizes an auger to break up and gather snow, then an impeller to powerfully discharge it through the chute. Clearing widths are typically in the 24-26 inch range, with an intake height around 20-21 inches, allowing it to handle moderate snowfalls effectively. Throwing distances could reach up to 30-35 feet depending on snow conditions. The drive system is typically wheel-driven with multiple forward and reverse speeds, providing decent maneuverability. Chute controls are usually manual, allowing for directional adjustments. While typically not equipped with headlights or heated grips, the 310-181-352 is well-suited for clearing driveways, sidewalks, and smaller parking areas in regions with moderate to heavy snowfall.

Maintenance Tips
- Inspect Auger and Impeller: Regularly check the auger blades and impeller for wear, damage, or bending. Replace any damaged parts promptly to maintain optimal performance.
- Shear Pin Replacement: Keep extra shear pins on hand and replace them immediately if the auger stops abruptly or is subjected to significant resistance. Shear pins are designed to break and protect the gearbox from damage.
- Fuel System Maintenance: Use fuel stabilizer during off-season storage to prevent fuel degradation and carburetor issues. Drain the fuel tank and run the engine until it stalls before storing for extended periods.
- Skid Shoe Adjustment: Adjust the skid shoes according to the surface you are clearing. Raise them for gravel or uneven surfaces and lower them for paved driveways to prevent damage to the surface and optimize snow removal.
