Default CV Driveline in my 1572

CORRECTION - Title should say my 1572 (it's been that type of day :-) Fixed it for you

I dry-fit the CV driveline with JeffinPA's front and rear couplers this morning. I have about ¼" end to end play and was wondering if I should be shimming that closer, or simply leave it? There are still lots of spline coverage on both the Hydro input shaft, and the floating front CV joint.

Before I bolt it all in, I wanted to see what others before me have done with the end play. To shim, or not to shim? :-)

I thought about ways to reduce the end play such as building more plates and installing them between the new front mount adapter that bolts directly to the Kubota and the front CV joint.

Any thoughts or experience?

1/4" is a bit much. I like to see about 1/8" Jeff could make you a spacer out of 1/8" alum plate or you can use 1/2 of the CV joint and trace it out your self.

Default CV Driveline in now

Finally got some garage time and dry-fit the CV Driveline in the 1572, and after making a few spacers it's bolted in now with the Extreme SGT rear braces. Hopefully all the fluids will be done tomorrow. I also added a Solenoid and re-wired the new Glo Plugs.

Finally got to try out the new CV driveshaft today... really smooth. Thx to JeffinPA for the adapters, a friend for the 1863 driveline donor, and everyone else that lent their experience.

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.
