Mtd Cub Cadet White 310-450-327 Snow Blower Thrower Parts
310-450-327 parts and accessories
The MTD, Cub Cadet, and White 310-450-327 series snow blowers were popular gas-powered models manufactured throughout the late 20th and early 21st centuries. Known for their robust build and reliable performance, these two-stage snow throwers typically feature a clearing width between 21 and 26 inches, depending on the specific sub-model. Their ease of use and effective snow removal made them a favorite among homeowners and light commercial users.
The MTD, Cub Cadet, and White 310-450-327 series represents a range of snow blowers designed for tackling moderate to heavy snowfall. While specific years of production vary depending on the sub-model, they were generally available from the 1980s through the early 2000s. These machines are powered by various gas engines, usually Tecumseh or Briggs & Stratton, with horsepower ranging from 5 HP to 8 HP. Many models offered an optional electric start for added convenience. These are primarily two-stage snow blowers. The auger system breaks up the snow and feeds it into a high-speed impeller, which then throws the snow out through the discharge chute. Clearing widths ranged from approximately 21 to 26 inches, with an intake height around 16 to 20 inches, again dependent on the exact model. Throwing distance could reach up to 30-40 feet under ideal conditions. The drive system typically features wheels with multiple forward and reverse speeds, allowing for adjustable pace based on snow depth. Chute controls are usually manual, with the operator adjusting the direction and deflection. Some models include a headlight for improved visibility in low-light conditions. While heated grips were not standard, they were sometimes added as aftermarket accessories. The 310-450-327 series is well-suited for clearing driveways, sidewalks, and other residential areas with moderate to heavy snowfall.

Maintenance Tips
- Inspect Auger and Impeller: Regularly check the auger blades and impeller for wear, damage, or obstructions. Replace worn or damaged parts promptly to maintain optimal performance.
- Check and Replace Shear Pins: Shear pins are designed to break when the auger encounters a hard object, protecting the engine and gearbox. Keep extra shear pins on hand and replace them immediately after breakage.
- Fuel Stabilizer: Add fuel stabilizer to the gasoline before storing the snow blower for the off-season. This will prevent fuel degradation and ensure easy starting next winter.
- Adjust Skid Shoes: Adjust the skid shoes according to the surface you're clearing (pavement, gravel, etc.). Proper adjustment prevents damage to the surface and ensures efficient snow removal.
