109, 129, 149, 169 OEM CV style Joint Drive shaft
Hey everyone,
I'm working on a replacement Drive shaft for models listed about. I hate that self aligning connection at the motor and the rag connection at the pump. I have owned my 149 for 35+ years and have replaced those cheap connections and drive shaft just one too many times. The drive shaft will consist of a Cub Cadet OEM Drive shaft from the Cyclopes area with grease fittings to keep it lubed. It will be a direct bolt on assembly with no fabrication at all. I'm working with a local machinest to fabricate the pump adapter and from there the drive shaft will bolt right up to those Kohlers on the tractors for the models listed above. I will most likely have the final details worked out soon. The OEM drive shaft that fits was only made for 4 different models and are hard to find, so I'm working with Extreme Motor works to fabricate the drive shafts and maybe the pump adapter. Cost for total assembly has yet to be determined but I'm putting the proto type on my Cub this weekend. Location ohio 45879 This item will be able to be shipped I'm listing this to see if interest is out there for this style of drive shaft. You can email me on this if you're interested iuseautodesk at gmail dot com |

I moved this thread because it is not a for sale add but more of I am going to make these type of thing. I'm all for the idea but when you have them for sale with a price then list it in the for sale section.

Your not stepping on my toes. I'm all for you developing something that will help get these tractors off "The Rag Joint" I'll be glad to help you with the project. I don't have time to get into a production deal. Maybe between the two of us we can come up with something for the older stuff. Most of my work has been for the 72 series and up and at that it has been pretty much just the Supers. I'll be glad to share what I've learned with you.

How long have they been in service? Looking at the image the length looks fixed, and there is no mobility in any angular direction. Does this cause any alignment issues, either during initial install, or while in service? Mike |

I didn't realize the interest in getting away from the rag joint.
Sam Mac, you stated no maintenance to the barrel style joint. You saying that these plastic barrels don't go bad or where out or are you saying you don't have to grease them. I haven't had the time to check with the mic's, but a question has arose for me for the CV joint. Can the part #14 on an 1862 drive line (splines to the shaft) be bored to fit the shaft without splines? Then drilled with four holes for set screws? At the same time, drill into the shaft 1/16 to 1/8 depth to allow for a seating/locking point for the set screws? If the four set screws would take the torque, all that needs done is cut shaft to length, bore that splined ball seat to fit unsplined shaft, drill & tap four holes, add four set screws. Done. install shaft. OH, don't forget to grease it. |

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.
