All of can say is my 1200 had two flex couplers. I know they were in there since I was a kid. I looked it up and should have been one, but I put two back in. I tried it with one and had a lot of horizontal movement of the drive shaft. And it pulled the pilot bearing out. I got it slid back in and I put the other flex coupler in. It's a sob to get two in there.No problem since. That's how it was when dad bought it in 81 it had two in there. It may have to do with it being a pulling tractor before he bought it. Id say it puts more pressure on the clutch disc.The IH mechanic/ salesman bought it cause it was the highest hp gear drive IH had for his son to pull with. His son mowed with it some but lost interest and he sold it to my dad, then my dad gave it to me in 98.
