Well, I got anxious and put the new driveline in.

The only way I could get it out was to unbolt the engine and shift it forward. The service manual doesn't say to do it that way, but I couldn't get it off the pins any other way. Perhaps the different driver has longer pins?

The clutch feels great now and it doesn't rattle like crazy when driving it. There is actually a clutching zone when I use the pedal :)

Here are a couple pics of what was in there. The fork/arm was way too narrow. The pin was also worn as you can see in the pics.

There is a solid driver on the motor. I'm leaving it in there for now, but will keep an eye out for a flex one.

You will likely not find a flex driver that is any good. About your only option is to remove the rubber engine mounts and install solid ones. If you put a solid driver in, it won't likely last very long before it breaks unless you rubber mounts are in tip top shape, something will likely break shortly.

Well, they were a lot easier to remove than I thought. So maybe I'll bite the bullet and get a set. The current mounts appear to be in very good shape, but for $40 I suppose it's cheap insurance.

Once I replace those, I should be good to go with the solid driver then?

That's correct.

Alrighty.

Just ordered some from Jeff in PA. Should be here next week. Hopefully I'll be mowing next weekend :D

Get a solid driver too. I just bought one from Xtreme motorworks.

He already has one on it Brian. :beerchug:

10-4 Jon, been a long day!

Yep. That's why I'm getting the solid mounts. :ThumbsUp:

Thanks everyone for the great advice. Honestly, when I was looking at different tractors, I came across this forum and I think it swayed me a little towards a Cub. You can't beat a knowledgeable and helpful community when it comes to needing to fix stuff. :)
