Love joy couplers are designed to be on the end of a supported shaft. So.... your going to also add a cross bar and a pillow block bearing. You'd have to. Then get on the tractor and let your legs straddle a shaft spinning 3600 RPM that can come out of place if it fails....?? Only system I would use if not the OEM style is a u-joint. But I honestly like Cubs design better. I think it's safer.

The solution to the issue is what Cub eventually went to, and what Sam has suggested. Although I do agree with Oak. The early diesels didn't use the splined shaft. They seem to fail at about the same rate in my opinion. I think the biggest reason that the drive lines fail is lack of maintenance.
Understood...

Spoke to my neighbor here with machine shop. He told me hes got tons of stock I can use and I am welcome to use the machinery and he would help me dial it in.. Asked me to pay 20 bucks to use the oven for 2 hours. He said he usually heat treats at 1500 for 2 hours for his tooling and thinks that should be fine. I won't take him up on just yet but if I ever find myself in similar situation as OP I will try it for sure

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.
