[CubCadet2072]

Hello,

We just purchased a Cub Cadet 2072 with 465 hours showing on the hour meter. After buying the tractor, we discovered that the drive shaft rear splined coupler (Part Number 903-1066, 703-1066) which connects to the pump was stripped out and the 1/8" roll pin was sheared off.

Is this a common problem for these tractors or is there an issue with the hydrostatic drive causing the coupler to fail? If the coupler is the weak link, are there any modifications that can be done to help?

Thanks!
