I have the cast iron rear from the 149 in this tractor so I'm using the 149 driveshaft with a 2185 coupler to the engine. I had another half of that drive shaft that I cut and drilled for the pin, it's only about 1" longer than the one I did for the CH18. I had the whole thing swapped and bolted up in under two hours. I just have to wire up the engine and it's ready to fire up. At some point when (if) I get settled on the final setup I will look at getting an adapter for the transmission side of the shaft and put in a custom length CV shaft for the drive shaft. I'm still playing around with this tractor, so it's definitely not "final".
