Default 982 driveshaft
I've got to rebuild the driveline in my 982, including the driveshaft. What type of material are you guys using. I'm thinking 4140 pre-hard, or would I be better to just use green 4140? Also have heard of some folks using stainless, what grade? Any known failures from using something too hard?

I used plain CRS when I eliminated the rear Flex Disk on the 782, milling a key-way in it for the 3 jaw coupling.
I don't know what the long term results will be, but @ over 400 hours I see no problem.
I really like the true-ness of the coupling over the worn flex joint.
If the need arises to remove the drive-shaft, just loosen the set screw on the front half of the coupling and slide the coupling forward, no need to drive out any coiled pin, or unbolt the flex disk.

How about a couple pics of the 3 jaw coupling that you used.

Thanks for the comments. I'll probably go with pre-hard 4140 since I have easy access to it. If I think about it, I'll take the old one to work and check the Rockwell on it to see how hard it is.

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.
