147 Drive Shaft Pin Fail
Hello, I am new to the forum but fortunately not to the hobby of fixing up these old garden tractors. So, as the title implies, I was out driving my 147 last night and the hydro stopped working. I quickly discovered a sheared front drive shaft pin at fault. I've done some research on the topic and it seems like this is not too uncommon.
So, this evening I pulled the engine and grill off and pulled the shaft out. I was originally going to just press the pin out and order a new one. But, after inspection I think I may nee to get a new coupler and shaft. The coupler is severely worn and the index pin on the hydro end of the shaft is worn as well. In addition, even after using a torch and press I can not get the rest of the pin out of the shaft. I also tried drilling it out but, none of my bits will touch it. I attached some photos of the shaft and trouble areas. Based on all this what would your course of action be? I am leaning towards a new shaft and coupler from our site sponsor. I assume I simply remove the fan by taking the shaft collar off and installing it on the new one. If anyone has any other suggestions on how to fix this feel free to mention them.

I can make you a new coupler, a new driveshaft and a rear coupler. I highly suggest you look at the pump coupler too. That should be perfectly round and measure 25/64" ( .390 ) The end of the driveshaft ( which is worn off center ) goes in there.
The drive hub I make is one piece. The driveshaft comes with a new pin. The coupler I make has two set screws to help reduce runout due to wear on the pump shaft. I'm "Parts by Jeff" on the sponsor listing at the top Jeff

Ordered a new drive shaft and coupler through Jeff. Hopefully this will get me up and running again. In the mean time, I am going to use this chance to repair and fix some other things while access is easy. I'm going to install a ross steering box bearing. Also, I'm going to go ahead and change the hydro fluid and filter.
One quick question. Is there a gasket for the differential cover to drain the fluid or should I just use permatex upon reinstall? Looks like right now it is permatexed.

There is a gasket on the rear cover. Want to purchase a new steering box adjustment screw? ( $8 ) I can put it in the box. Ships tomorrow and you should have it Monday ( according to the USPS )
Here's your driveshaft and drivehub. Notice the arrow on the end of the driveshaft. AFTER you install your fan, press the pin in from that side. I made the hole on size to help start it straight. If you paint it, do not paint the inside of the drivehub or the end of the driveshaft that fits into the drivehub. No room for paint. Thanks Jeff

Thank you very much. Looks like great craftsmanship. Man how much I would like a lathe and mill. I'll pass on the adjustment screw for the steering box. But thanks for the offer. Look forward to testing the parts out.

I installed my new drive shaft and engine coupler that I ordered from Jeff. The installation went fairly easy and I am very happy with the quality of the parts. They were an exact fit and made to excellent tolerances. I have to say, after buying many "reproduction" products from ebay and having to chop and modify them to make them work, it was nice to simply bolt in the new part as it was intended.
Anyways, the old girl is up and running better than ever again so I call it a success. Thanks to everyone for the input and advice.

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.
