Drive shaft
My 1200 has an awful vibration and it appears to be the drive shaft. It doesn't seem to be rotating correctly. As if it is bent. Is this possible? Or is it more likely another part in that region. Man does my tractor have a bad vibration. And I did replace the motor mounts. I have a shaft from a 108, will that work?

Yes it is quite possible. Where do you see the driveshaft rotateing off centre? If it's in the middle it Is probably bent, but it is posible the rag joints on the back are split on one side, or the bushing on the three pin driver is shot

I replaced the rag joint. Ya, it appears that it is out of center toward the middle because even the spring appears of center. See, the previous owner round this baby hard until the drive plate for the clutch sheared in the center.

You probably need to remove the driveshaft, clutch , and all the couplers and take a good look at them all.. Take the clutch assembly completely apart with appropriate compressor tools, and replace all your commonly wearing parts and the roll pins. Lubricate where needed on assembly too.. While the driveshaft itself is out and bare, roll it on a flat surface and see if it is in fact bent. ALso check the ends for play in their respective bushings... if you see noticeable wear on the ends it will be worthwhile to replace as every but of wear translates in to running off center and vibration.
This can be an expensive project if you start to need couplers and bushings... Good luck!

I doubt the 108 shaft will be the same, I don't think they use the same connectors at the ends, but I could be wrong..

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.
