I got parts on the way. Parts Tree actually had the drive shaft for not too bad of a price. The rest of the parts I ordered from CC Specialties. I am reusing my rear coupler as it wasn't in bad shape and they are very pricey. Now its time to look at the snow blower. I had to drive from Jamestown, NY down I90 to Chardon, OH this evening. What a long miserable drive it was in the white slop today. Everyone was re-learning how to drive in snow again. :Forgot:

Success
 

So, its been a long road getting all the pieces parts put together and finding the time to put the Cub back together. I took the time to remedy a few things while reassembling the driveline. I had to replace some tin work on the K301 that had vibration/fatigue cracks from all of the shaking. I made a muffler support bracket while I wait to rebuild/weld up the aluminum muffler air duct. I will refashion it to work in conjunction with the air duct once I have it finished. I also did some Preventative Maintenance work on the QA36 snow thrower.

She is running smooth now and throwing snow with the best of them. Thanks for the support guys. I wanted to update the thread with good news. Let's hope I don't lose any more hardware. :beerchug:

Glad you got her going... sounds like she is smooth as glass now.. Just for the record.. I don't know if I've ever seen a driveline that bad!:bigthink: It's great you found it before it slung itself apart!!:beerchug:
