Glad it's working for you! Thanks for the vid!

I'm glad to see the thrower is working so well!
While I had a banner day on Monday clearing the driveway and walk and even made a path for the fuel oil guy around to the other side of the house, on Tuesday I woke up to all the snow back in the driveway due to high winds. Anyway, that day went about as poorly as could be expected. The snow was heavier, and though I was basically crawling with the tractor it still burned out the belt (though the 2 1/2" grade 2 bolt has yet to brake!) Then after getting a new belt on it, the entire driveshaft with the u-joints on each end broke off. Now to be fair to the machine, I had broken the u-joint on the male end earlier in the year. And in my ignorance I just put a grade 8 bolt through it to re-attach it. Then I broke the one on the female end last week and put another grade 8 through that. Never realizing I was cutting down on the rotation axis angles needed and introducing a lot of play. So Yesterday, after the tractor spit the arm once again, I now have almost all the cups on the u-joints busted out. And the square block in the center of the u-joints has gotten pretty mangled over time. I mention all this for two reasons:
1. To catalogue my mistakes in case anyone else finds themselves in my shoes and is also lacking the proper know-how like me.
2. To ask if anyone knows where I can find one of these drive shafts? I need both the male and female ends and I think the total length when fitted together is about 15" with about a 7/8" hole on the one end and a 3/4" hole on the other.
Thanks.

I do not know where to get my hands on (1). I would check the supporting listed at the top of this page. I think your best bet will be a "cub" specific recycler.

Sorry about that blow out, that had to make a mark on something. It sounds like if you can get a good drive shaft now you will know how to set it up right, seems like I'm always learning the hard way too. Hope you find that drive shaft soon, this winter just doesn't seem to be letting up. Thanks everyone for all of the good info, I'm going to double check all of those drive shaft connections this weekend.
