It's called a double cardian joint. It uses two u-joints with a ball and socket joint between them. Lots of equipment went to that style at the tractor end years ago. It allows more flex than a single joint. They also use them on pickup driveshafts. You see them on the front propshaft on 4X4 Chevy's and the rear shaft on some S-10's. They are expensive.

Yep, much more flex angle than a regular u joint. Us lifted jeep guys use them along with a slip yoke eliminator kit on the t case.

The one Jon uses is special with an extra i in it

In other words you can turn some tight corners without being afraid you are going to rip something apart, got it! We have a tow type bushog with a really long driveshaft--it tells YOU how short you can turn. So, in ag areas, did this replace the short shaft/bearing support that is common on hay balers?

That is true, Jeeps use them also.

I didn't even realize I spelled it wrong. Good catch!

We had an old 13' Bush Hog pull type also with that long shaft. It was a pain.... and after the rear joint broke a couple times and that long shaft went whipping around, we cut the tongue off and made it a 3pt mower. Short shaft was much better!

Well, the joint didn't replace the short shaft... it actually made them shorter. You find them on almost everything now, including balers.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
