Thanks for the help and sorry for the hassle.

Not a problem Stan, I had a similar problem when I put my 2082 together. Somewhere in the middle of the model run CCC changed the PTO and it was only with the serial number that I could figure out what part I had to get. I also didn't want to see a new forum member get driven away. Your description of how you assembled your PTO was spot on, the anti rotation angle was the key to identifying where your tractor fell in the serial number range. Welcome to the forum, don't be sorry for asking a valid question.

I too will say, I wasn't trying to be smart, so sorry if I sounded like I was.... It's just easier with pics. No hassle or problems on your end. But pics do help! :ThumbsUp:

No problem, Cub can be a PITA to figure out what part an owner needs without serial numbers or pics. Not your fault at all Bud. Glad you got it running. :beerchug:

Gotta go now before my Iced Coffee gets warm. :biggrin2::coffee:
