Thank you FrankF3 for helping me find my new (to me) 1772!

Looking at that pic Jeff, I don't think that is the coupler on the hydro.

This one is. It has the ball bushing removed.

The pictures of the two adapters are for the Kubota engine using a CV style driveshaft ( from a 1862 ) .

The coupler you pictured is for the factory driveshaft.

Jeff

If your talking about doing a CV shaft conversion for a 1572 or 1782 the shaft needed is from a 1863 or 1864.

Corrected, thanks

Looks great Jeff, THANK YOU. I sent the other part back, it went out in the mail 12/3.

The one I am using, is indeed, from an 1864.

THANKS Sam, for engineering this swap and the rear braces. Those saved me from a new rear end.

And THANK YOU to FrankF3, OAK, CTRUEX, andyw, JLM78, JayNJeep, Red56Turbo, J Mech, sbauerz28, cub123, agitech and all those I'm sure, I'm forgetting, who's ideas I have copied onto my 1772.

Great group here.

I'm sorry Jeff, I was talking about these ones. Those look like the ones for the drive shaft.

Got some work done on the 1772.

Gear reduction starter is installed;



As is the mini alternator;



It has been a real pain to get this thing to start, the next day after the starter was installed, it would not fire up at all. I pulled the fuel line at the filter head, and energized to pump, fuel was coming out, but the flow was low. I pulled the tank and found the feed line was kinked. New lines will be installed.



I made new battery cables from 0 gauge wire and have to tidy the wiring back up.



The drive shaft removal was fun, . I need to pick up a replacement alternator / water pump belt, a new fan belt and new fuel lines.

The one snag I see is the 1864 drive shaft I bought, does not have a fan with it. If the one off of the 1772 will not work, I may need to source a fan. Other than that it will be going back together.

I did pick up a cat "0" rear blade off of CL for it. I did not take any pictures of that.

[MWShaw]

The odds of the 1772 fan, working on the 1864 drive shaft are pretty low.

The 1772 fan part number is 903-1434, price is $89.76

The 1864 fan part number is 931-3095, price is $16.78.

For a difference of $72.98!

I'm thinking I'm gonna need to order a 1864 fan.

[Sam Mac]

You will need a fan from a Cyclops. $15 and change here.
