Default drive line mod questions

when i was plowing with the 169 the other day, the front pin that slides into the hub on the motor broke off. the hub has alot of play in it from the pin.

im wondering if theres a better stronger way to beef up the drive line on my 169. this is my main work horse and plow tractor so i want it to be strong. ive heard of some guys converting there 1X9 series tractors to the quietline set up with a rag joint in the front and back. is this stronger? if it is, can you just take the parts out of a quietline and bolt them into the 169? give me some ideas guys. thanks

Nick you can use a 3 pin driver from a NF and make a custom drive shaft and make it stronger.

Nick, I don't see any reason you couldn't do front and rear rag joint on it, in fact you could even double them for a total of four like the later models with the twins have.

Oh torque found the weak spot. The worn drive shaft pin and worn groove in the hub was the issue

I have a 129 that came with the double rag joints and im much more impressed by those than my other 129 with just one flex disk in the rear, id have to imagine it would work.

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.
