Default Cub Cadet 2072 driveshaft coupler update

Hey Guys, Thanks again for your input on the driveshaft coupler issues. While cleaning the tractor up for the first time since buying it last week, I discovered that the all the engine mount bolts were loose and one was missing. I'm thinking this is why the rear splined driveshaft coupler failed.
Last weekend I started machining on the old coupler so it will accept a new splined steel coupler which I purchased on ebay. If this idea does not work, i plan to fabricate (machine) a new coupler from steel instead of using another oem cast coupler.
Have a great day!

Your lucky, look at post #17 here, to see how the motor came out of my 2072!

I think someone had mine loose, to slide it forward and replace the rag joint, then didn't replace all of the bolts? Whatever, it was / is a mess.

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.
