Default 1200 clutch
Well got the parts for my clutch, but while having it apart noticed a nasty bend in the drive shaft. So today will be working on straightening it in the times I have between actual work projects.

For the cost of the steel to replace it, it's not worth trying to straighten. You won't get it perfect anyway. Just get some 5/8" cold-rolled steel or even 4140 pre-hard and make yourself a new one.

Lol, done already, have the equipment and gages at work to do it right. Straight as an arrow now.... Question though, I did notice that the drive line is angled down as if the motor is sitting too low in the rear. How bad of an idea would it be to shim it?

Have you checked the condition of the engine mounts?

Yes they are in ok condition, will be replacing them with solid mounts. Not liking the angle at which it sits. with straightened drive shaft there is about an inch of downward deflection at the transmission coupler. Actually i think more as there is angle between the drive plate and clutch, drive shaft is resting on frame at that point, but the deflection is such that motor is too low in rear. Guess I'll be pulling it farther apart then i thought I would have to at this time.

Got it back together, though now dealing with shifter issue... LOL, this is going to keep costing I see.

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.
