Frank1541 the drive shaft is holding up just fine. The drive shaft is as tough as any other drive shaft I have seen. I had it in a plow field puling a 10" plow with no problems. Was snatching out a few saplings a couple weeks ago with it and is still holding. I used a brand new choke cable and just crimped a new cable in the original throttle mechanism which was long enough to reach the control. I am very pleased with how it turned out and on top of that it sounds bad a$$ with the dual exhausts.

Kelly. Thanks for the reply, its good to hear that the tractor is holding up for you. It looks like you had an older style shaft on the red tractor. Do you know if they are the same diameter as the cyclops drive shafts. Also what diameter pin did you use.

Frank as far as the drive shaft is concerned I am not sure about the cyclops shaft. I have a 1641 also and have never taken a close look at it as far as O.D. dimensions are concerned. Yes the 682 had the rag joint style shaft in it. The O.D. of them shafts are 5/8th which is the same as all the gear drive machines also. I used the coiled spring pins used in a gear drive shafts to pin them together. The pin diameter is 1/4in. I will be using the other half of that 2185 drive shaft in my 125 on the flywheel end. Any more questions I will be glad to help. Good luck with your retro fit.

The cyclops has a splined shaft that is 3/4" IIRC. The ideal way to do it would be to machine a sleeve into which each half of the original driveshaft is a press fit, and then cross-drill and install tapered solid pins. I have seen that done before.

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.
