Default Drive shaft pillow block bearing
Guys I'm hoping one of you can get me a pic showing how you mounted a pillow block bearing on the drive shaft of a narrow frame. When I built my 71/121 (a 71 with a Mag12) I decided to keep the deep sump oil pan. Problem is that the engine can not be moved forward to service the clutch, the engine needs to come out vertically. So in my infinite wisdom I bought a clutch, shaft and a long coupler from Mid West Super Cub. The long coupler allows me enough room to slide the complete clutch to the rear enough so that I can pull the engine. Well that part works just fine but the long coupler allows the drive shaft to run out of line and it causes a vibration. I can see the shaft running out of round. That said what I'm thinking would cure the problem is a pillow block bearing. Pic is the clutch and shaft I have. Tractor is only used for little odd jobs and plowing our garden. Power is only what a Mag12 with 500+ hours on it makes. Comments welcome.

Thanks

Is this a tall or short tunnel unit? If it's a short tunnel lots of guys add a spacer and bolt the bearind upside down to the tunnel. If it's a tall tunnel the best thing to do is, weld or bolt another cross member in the frame and mount the bearing to it.

Since I'm not a narrow frame guy I'll post a pic.

That's a short tunnel Sam Mac. Most pullers cut and large hole in the top of the tunnel to allow easy access to the coupler too. Then we cover it up with a piece of aluminum or stainless steel sheet metal.

I like to put the pillow block up tight against the collar that holds the spring tension as a backup. its good to use shims so when you bolt the pillow block down you don't distort the driveline

Any chance one of you guys can get me a pic of how you set them up? I sure would appreciate it.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
