INSTALLING THE U-JOINT DRIVELINE ... Cub Cadet Modifications MAKING U-JOINT …
WHAT IS THIS 'MODIFICATION', AND WHAT PROMPTED THE DESIGN? First Answer: necessity. These darned pin-couplers worked, and most are still in service, but they wear and fail at what I consider to be a 'consumeable' rate. Frankly, I hate consumable parts.."
This would be the custom modification to do.

That doesn't really solve the issue here, though...unless the trans input shaft is modified, that U-joint must still be connected to the input shaft with a spirol pin. U-joints will not absorb the engine's torque pulsations like the rubber discs in the QL and later driveshafts will, so it would still likely hammer them to pieces.
