Default CC 1772 Diesel Driveshaft Brass Bushing

New-to-me tractor of this type.....After changing the alternator belt, I noticed there was a brass (or bronze) bushing that almost fell out while trying to re-install the driveshaft to the engine. Without much luck from a Cub Cadet dealer or the internet parts diagrams; I decided to remove the entire driveshaft to get a closer look and so I could take some pictures to hopefully get some help on the forum. In these pictures you can see the worn out bushing and where it fits. It fits inside that round rubber type disk.....that is where it fell out of at least. I am thinking that the bushing is part of that rubber disk housing as 1 unit, but I am not sure about that. What do you all think? Also, notice the fins on the plastic fan; they are buggered up a little....will that be ok to leave as-is? I need to get the parts ordered so I can get the 1772 back up and running.

Thanks for any input you can give

Oh wow.....just read through all of that. It really discourages and intimidates me though because I know nothing about doing repairs that intensive. I was just trying to re-install the driveshaft when I noticed that the bushing was worn out. It would be really really nice to do that conversion though. I'm going to upload pics of my driveshaft when I get home....hopefully if it'll work.

While the upgrade may be an improvement I think that bushing is available. As long as your driveshaft end is fine it will take about 1 minute to put a replacement bushing into the steel plate. From your photos it seems that part of the bushing is still in the steel plate. I had to replace one on a 1512 which uses the same part number for the plate (903-1005a). I basically took the part into the local cub cadet dealer and they handed me a replacement bushing.

You might want to look into part number 941-3004 (SELF-ALIGNING BALL BUSHING). Not sure if it will fit but would be worth looking into. I think the bushing was used on many Cubs so a local dealer may have one in-stock.

Good Luck

Sorry forgot to mention the bushing is actually in the metal plate not the rubber disks. I copied your picture and put a red arrow onto what I think is part of the old bushing. I think if you look closely at it and the picture of the bushing I put up you will see what I mean.

I would look closely at your end of the driveshaft. It looks worn from your photo but it is tough to tell.

I second a 2k or CV conversion. If you want to stay stock, be prepared to shell out $200+, and I would ditch the disconnect clutch. Replace anything that shows wear, or you'll wish you had. The 2k conversion will cost as much, but makes more sense...it is truly an upgrade. As for the bushing, the part number is 941-3004, and there are two of them, one on each end.

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.
