Mtd Cub Cadet White 310-550-098 Snow Blower Thrower Parts
310-550-098 parts and accessories
The Mtd Cub Cadet White 310-550-098 snow blower was a popular model known for its reliability in tackling moderate to heavy snowfall. Typically manufactured in the late 1990s and early 2000s, this gas-powered machine usually features a two-stage design with a clearing width around 26-28 inches. Its robust build and efficient snow removal capabilities made it a favorite among homeowners and property managers.
The Mtd Cub Cadet White 310-550-098 series snow blowers were a staple in residential snow removal for several years. These models were generally equipped with a Tecumseh or Briggs & Stratton gas engine, ranging from approximately 8 HP to 10 HP depending on the specific sub-model within the series. Some versions offered an electric start option for convenient starting in cold weather. The two-stage design incorporates an auger that breaks up the snow and feeds it into a high-speed impeller, which then throws the snow away from the clearing path. The clearing width typically falls between 26 and 28 inches, with an intake height of around 20-21 inches, allowing it to handle substantial snow depths. Throwing distance can reach up to 30-40 feet. Drive systems usually involve wheel drive with multiple forward and reverse speeds, enhancing maneuverability. Chute control is often manual, allowing the operator to adjust the direction and distance of the snow stream. Some models included a headlight for improved visibility during nighttime or early morning snow removal. While heated grips were not a standard feature, the machine's overall performance made it suitable for various snow conditions, from light flurries to heavier, wetter snowfalls on driveways, walkways, and smaller commercial properties.
