Diesel Driveshafts
This probably would apply to the IH built tractors too, but I figured that since almost all the diesels came to be under CCC guise I'd post here.
It has been noted on numerous occasions that the diesel tractors (782D, 882, 1512, 1572) are particularly hard on driveshafts. Indeed, the PO of my 1512 noted that he's replaced the driveshaft several times on my tractor. The latest shaft on the tractor was actually not a CC part, but was one he had made for the task. He says it is a bit longer but I've never seen an OEM shaft to compare to. What's the story behind the sacrificial diesel driveshafts? Is it an alignment issue perhaps? Too much engine thrust? An undersized shaft? I'm curious if the cause is known. Forgive my ignorance on these things, but I am a complete CC novice. I have a bunch of off-brand tractors that I know pretty intimately, but these Cubs are much more complex and advanced machines than I am accustomed to. I picked up this 1512 with plans to get rid of it, but half a year later it is still sitting here smiling at me every day. A friend said he wants it, but to be honest I hope he never follows thru since it has really grown on me. Thanks, Steve PS- T-MO, I still can't find that stuff I owe you!

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.
