Driveshaft problem
One thing to check is whether the bolts on the ragjoint coupling are facing the right way. I know that on the rear coupling to the hydro it is possible to put the bolts in backwards and then if the nose of the bolt is facing the hydro it will hit the hydraulic lines coming off the hydro, the same may be true of the front coupling.
Also, have you rebolted the engine assembly yet? That whole assembly can move 3" when unbolted from the frame. That might be a cause of interference if the engine is out of line fore and aft.
I have done this twice on my 882D, and it is certainly a PITA. My driveshaft spun in the ragjoint coupling when the roll pin sheared and so I have slop where the driveshaft fits the coupling. I figured the shaft and coupling were worn anyway and would not get any worse, so I just put in a new roll pin and have been running with no problems ever since
