Driveshaft on my 129 is out-of-round....can this be adjusted?
If I didn't know better I'd say I messed something up by removing the old fan and snap ring, but can't see how that could happen (?) I rotated the engine by hand a few times to access the broken fan from different angles, and then had a pliers and/or vise grip on the snap ring. so I WAS twisting that to bend it, but, could that have changed something with the shaft / hydro alignment? If so, surely not worth it just to put on this new fan.
Should you be able to grab and slightly move that whole flex coupling or is that natural for it to give a bit. I attached two pics that show how the one side is closer to the hydro than the other. I don't think it was that way before I worked with removing this broken fan. One pic was taken with the engine turned 90 degrees so as to see from both sides. Should I adjust something to try and get better alignment? When the engine runs at low rpm, it's visibly out of round. Once higher rpm. I don't notice it. Can't be good for it running out-of-round, but maybe it WAS that way and just never noticed it. I know it surely ran that way for many years but then I seem to recall when I put a new engine in I paid attention to trying to get it as true as I could. Loosen the whole flex coupling and adjust somehow? Loosen engine motor mounts and shift position around on that side till the shaft appears straighter? Or is it normal for these things to run a bit out-of-round due to the nature of these flex couplings? Thanks for advice...

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.
