[_DX3_]

They used aluminum in the early model cubs but went plastic. It probably broke because of the age and it was brittle. If you think about it, it was over 30 years old before it broke... That's pretty dang good, LOL. You can pick one up at your local dealer or our sponsors up at the top of the page will have one. Also since you will have your drive shaft out, I would go ahead and put in new flex joints too. Then your drive shaft should be good for many more years as long as none of the spiral pin holes look worn. You do have the service manual for the 149? If not it is located in our GT library.
