The 1/4" pin you refer to is a hardened dowel pin which is extremely tough. It would take one butt load of torque to break. The 125 I used to have that pin was worn almost in half and still held up. And trust me I do not take it easy on any of my cubs. Prolly you will see some wear inside the drive hub.
