Cub Cadet 127 bolt ID help
 

I was mowing 2 days ago and a vibration started. Feels like it’s coming from the rear end. Not sure. I found this bolt on the ground. I tore the 127 apart attempting to find its home with no luck. Any suggestions would be appreciated.:bigthink:

Maybe your flex disc joint at the back end of driveshaft!?!

Thanks man, what’s the easiest way to access that joint?

Crawl under and look up. It is above the hydro oil filter.

Okay I’ll pull the deck off and take a gander. From what I can gather From the information highway I should see a coupling with four bolts. Anything else I should look at for the missing bolts home? Appreciated

Might want to check the engine bolts.

There are three bolts on each side, at the rear, go thru the frame to hold the rear end, and keep it in proper alignment.

I do not see any paint or rust on the bolt that is why I think it is a engine bolt.

Yep no paint and not rusty, check the engine bolts.

Thanks for the help. Just finished looking at the 127. All 4 flex disc joint bolts are there. All 4 engine mount bolts are there. Not sure if there’s other engine related bolts I need to check. I’m only seeing 1 rear end alignment bolt. See attached picture. So that might be the issue. I’m going to pull the tires off and take a look tomorrow.
