This is a case of if all you have is a hammer.... Last night I put some liquid weld to my drive cup. About 12 hours latter this is what I have. But unless the J.B. gets much harder it'll never work.

I have no experience with the older Cubs however the same rules apply. Each end of the shaft MUST ride in a healthy bushing, cutting the worn portion of the shaft off or turning it or adding another flex will NOT solve your problem. The flex couple will NOT center your shaft, that's what the bushing does, without the bushing in place you will have wobble and further deterioration. As Roland pointed out the correct fix, I've bought all these parts new for a QL I had and IIRR should run you about $100 to replace. The shaft you can purchase at a hydraulic shop as cylinder rod for about $12, at least that's what paid.
