Default 129 drive shaft wobble
I bought a 129 recently and took the transmission cover off tonight. I noticed the drive shaft is off center about 1/4 inch about 5" out from the flexible coupling. Does the shaft need to be straightened or is this wobble due to the flexing of the coupling? How would I straighten the shaft? Thanks in advance

I don't know if it even vibrates, so I can't really give you advice. it is possible that is it the coupling, but my driveshaft on my 1200 was bent. I put it in a vice and eyeballed it

Is it just a spot that's off center, or is it the whole back end of the shaft? Either way, I'd take it out and set a straightedge along the driveshaft to see if it's bent. If not, the coupler could be worn and pivoting on the driveshaft. The pre-quietline rear coupling was crude in my opinion. It could be worn out.

To go along with what Matt said, if you find the drive shaft bent, then replacement is the most practical move. Either locate a good used one or fabricate a new one from 5/8" rod.

AHA! The flexible coupling disc is torn on one side! Thanks Matt

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.
