682 Drive Shaft Mod/Mods
 

Howdy folks. One more step in the 682 KT17 to CH20 motor swap. Been messing around with drive shaft ideas. I originally made a straight shaft with the original couplers and rag joints, also replaced the front bushing adapter. In the end though it vibrated too much, might improve with new rag joints and new rear tranny coupler/with pivot bushing. But I liked the idea I saw here about the 2000 series drive shaft and different ways to use it.
Here is one of my ideas. Anyone see where this will be a problem in this configuration? This is strictly a mowing cub. Don't fret about the bolt in the rear coupler, they are just there for testing purposes. I have new spiral pins to put in. Also, the throttle cable is not as close to the shaft as it seems in the picture. Heres is a couple of pics. Also included a link to a video of it in action. I have never posted a link to a video, so I hope it works.

Runs pretty smooth!!:beerchug: Not sure about bolts in a drive shaft though....:bigthink:

Thanks Steve. Yea, as mentioned, the bolts are for testing and I have spirol pins to put in. TB

I like it.

driveshaft setup looks good. I like it. thought 682 was red not yellow??

Thanks mrfred. This 682 is a newer CC built model, the older IH built models were red. I don't know the cutoff dates on that. TB
