982D project
 

Can any one tell me what is the dia. of the front PTO stub shaft on the 882D Kubota ? I have a nice 982 with a tired Onan and a Kubota 6200 series (D600) lawn tractor to start with.

If your going to put the kubota in the 982 you will have to put it in just like the other smokers are..... backwards. Just have a machine shop make you a shaft to fit the clutch off the Onan in the 982.

982 PTO stub shaft
 

The machene shop idea was plan A untill I came across a stub shaft on a three cylinder gas Kubota in my collection that measures 1" dia. .It looks like the shaft used on the 1782 Kubota and is a direct bolt up to the fly wheel but the clutch that was on the shaft was destroyed in my barn fire. I can go to my local Kubota dealer (witch also happens to be a cub cadet dealer) and get a new Kubota clutch but I would like to use the factory 882D or a 1782 clutch if it fits a 1" shaft just to eliminate any unforseen bugs and to make it look factory built. Thank's for any help.

Holler if you can't find a 1" ID clutch, they are very common.
