2072 drive line question
 

did all of the supers have an in-line clutch on the driveshaft by the hydro fan? what is the purpose of it?

no not all supers did. the reason for that clutch is to disconnect the drive shaft from the rear hydraulic pump for easier cold weather starting. easier to let the engine start itself without turning the cold rear end as well.

In addition, that "disconnect clutch" was also offered on regular garden tractors also.

Mine doesn't and last winter I sure wish it did. Single digits temps and old fuel. couldn't get it to spin fast enough to start till it warmed up some. I've since installed heat in my garage because of it.

nice heater, what kind is it and where did you get it...

here is a pic of my drive shaft the p/o said he replaced the shaft twice then installed an in-line bearing, I would much rather go back to factory stock. Does anyone have the specs on the shaft dia...length and the holes for my 2072 with the in line clutch?

If you want to fix it once and for all put the drive shaft from an 1882 in it. I'm sure one of the sponsors has one. I have the pump adapter in stock.
