The MTD Cub Cadet White 312-181-192 series of snow blowers was produced primarily in the late 1980s and 1990s. These models were equipped with gas-powered engines, typically Tecumseh, ranging from 8 to 10 horsepower, with some offering electric start options for easier cold-weather starts.

- Regularly inspect the auger and impeller for damage or wear. Replace any worn or broken parts to maintain optimal performance.
- Check and replace shear pins as needed. These protect the auger gearbox from damage if the auger encounters a hard object.
- Ensure proper belt tension on the auger and drive belts. Loose belts can reduce throwing distance and drive power.
- Change the engine oil annually or as recommended by the engine manufacturer. Use a fuel stabilizer in the gasoline during off-season storage to prevent fuel system problems.
