Goodbye Rag Joints
 

Think I have driveshaft upgrade that will work for the 1572 & 1772. I have a crank shaft adapter and pump adapter like the Cyclops use along with a 2000 series drive shaft that is shortened to fit the 72 series diesels. Variants of this setup should also work for tractors that have Kohler power, you would not need the crank adapter because the Kohlers have the proper bolt pattern to bolt the 2000 series shaft to. I can supply pump adapters for both the splined style or the 5/8” round with the spirol pin style.

that looks pretty good, when will you be testing it?

I'm thinking you could test it. LOL. What tractor do you need one for?

well i have an 1872 and a 1772 that could use a conversion. the 1772 needs it way more tho.

That may work, I have a 1772 sitting here that I can use to fit it up on. This should be a reasonably simple install but you will need to drill and tap the input shaft for the pump so it is not for someone that is not somewhat capable with tools. Also I have not worked up pricing yet but I think it will be in the $275.00 to $300.00 range plus shipping.

not an issue for me to drill and tap. one concern i might have is on the engine side of the shaft. will the adapter fit with out hitting the steering pump or the lift cylinder. we know theres not much clearance in there. fit it up on your 1772 and let me know how it goes.

Ken

It fits fine in that area. Already have one bolted to the D640 in the 1772.

Keep up the great work....:beerchug:

I'll be your field tester Sam. Do you have one ready yet?

I hope "your" 2182 does not need one!!?? :bigthink:

Something tells me that 2284 is staying in VA... :beerchug:

that looks good. lets get it tested!

I can't even figure out what # it is!! :biggrin2:

Todd

Got one just about ready for a smoker. You'll have to take a ride up to get it though LOL.

Sam

Do I need to bring a trailer?:bigeyes:

Nope the 2182 has CV joints and they are brand new. Put a big hurt on the wallet for that one. The PO had no idea what a grease gun was or he didn't know the CV joints have grease fittings. :bash2:

There will be a trailer there tomorrow!! :bigthink:

You already know the answer to that LOL:biggrin2:

Great job, Sam!

X2! Whenever I get my 1772's out of hibernation they will likely be updated with this!

Yep it is, I can now let you know the the nicest Cub I ever owned is now living in Roanoke at CADplans place. :beerchug:

AND it just arrived home!! :bigeyes:

Congrats on your new super, CAD!

X2!:beerchug:

You all have been having too much fun. :beerchug:

That was nothing, the 2284 has been put-ting around Paradise Ln all day today!!

I can not get over how much nicer the 22HP sounds compared to the 18 Magnum. :Woo:

Maybe tomorrow, I will do something productive with it!! :biggrin2:

Sam Mac, Janet wants to know if I have to bring the 2284 back for bi-monthly service?

She knows I will never keep it as nice as you delivered it!! :Bowdown2:

CAD

Tell Janet you absolutely need to bring it here for service. She and Debbie can go shopping and you and I can goof off. I just can’t wait to get into your old 1872 to see what kind of work an engineer does, just kidding. :biggrin2:
