Well Sam guess we will see how this works out. This Cub is my mowing GT. My other Cub does a lot of pulling things. The engine motor rubber mounts are still original and probably stiffer than when it was new. Wonder if others having problems the poly barrel driveline had replace their mounts with non OEM?
On this Cub, the driveline was shot. Ten years ago replaced the complete driveline with a used one from a gas 782. Shorten the shaft and replace the rubber disc with new. At the time the ball bushing seem OK but learn it should always be replace. Believe this is the root of the rag joint vibration issue. Did a complete repair on my other Cub 2 three years ago and it still runs smooth as silk.
With Jeff’s adapter kit, I could always switch to CV driveline if need to. What best model CV driveline to look for? May do this on Cub2 the next go around. Plan to go with spline shaft.
Thanks To Matt G. for the idea. Not sure if he did this mod on his plow tractor.
Appreciate all the comments...
