Default 149 Drive Shaft Pin
I ordered a new drive shaft for my 149 with a new pin, it came with pin installed and, for the life of me without getting carried away, I can't remove it to install the cooling fan for the hydro, any suggestions?

get roll pin punches, put it in a vise, and smack the crap out of it.

I was worried about smacking it to hard, I'll get right on that though, I knew it was a tight fit but didn't know it was as tight as it was. I'm actually quite surprised, the old pin had worked itself out and ended up trashing the drive hub and shaft. I'm glad that it is as tight as it is, does anyone set these with a loctite or any other product to prevent backing out or is just friction between the two enough.

That pin is not a spiral pin it is a hardened steel pin, no need for roll pin punches...

I usually close the vice enough to lay the shaft on top of the jaws and let one end of the pin go down between them (the jaws) then smack the other end of the pin with a good heavy hammer.

One you get it out and are ready to reinstall try putting the pin in the freezer for. Bit and heat the shaff up a little. Then once that's done slide the pin it. Might make it a little easier

COOL, nothing like a happy ending! Run it hard to break it in and give it an early oil change and she should give you many years of service.

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.
