Thanks for the tip on assembling the clutch Bob. My tractor is out in the middle of some land I bought a couple months ago. I have the driveshaft here at my home. I'm using a jig from this thread

hopefully it works ok. As for the fuel line, if it's easily marked that would help. But I have the original hose, I can take it to a parts store and match it up.

Brian, if you could measure your original arm, that would be great. What do you mean by too short? The hole where the driveshaft goes through, or the overall length to the adjustment hole? I had no trouble adjusting mine, but it appears as though the bearing was rubbing towards the bottom, as though the hole for the driveshaft wasn't low enough. But perhaps the broken driveshaft had something to do with that. Comparing the wide frame arm to the narrow frame that was on the tractor before, it's a little longer.

If you look at the break on the driveshaft, it doesn't appear 100% clean, as though it had been cracked for a short period of time, perhaps causing the driveshaft to be a little bent. I posted a couple pics. It sat for about a week before I removed it, so there is a little rust on the whole joint, but towards the top it's a little rough and appears to have more rust than the rest.

My tractor only has one rag joint. But there isn't much play on the driveshaft. If I remember correctly, they started using 2 joints after a certain s/n.
