OK, I merged your threads. Looks like you have a multitude of issues to deal with.

1: Drive shaft sounds like the splines (you called them teeth) are worn out on the shaft and it's slipping in the ball in the center of the CV joint. Common when they have a ripped boot and have never been greased. You mentioned that you plan to weld it together. Not sure that's a good idea but it's already junk and if your plan is just to see if it will move before buying a replacement shaft go for it.

2:Spark plugs seem to be figured out.

3: Electrical, sounds like it has some safety switch issues. The wiring should be covered in the service manual that I e-mailed to you.

4: Is your plan to fix this for your self and keep it or just to get it running and sell it?

Good to see a 24 year old that isn't afraid to get his hands dirty. Keep us posted on your 1641.

i got my drive shaft back today, and put it on. (horrible weld job) temporary just for todays test i swear to that, im scared of it lol. but anyway it ran great. i had no issues at all. the mower deck works, the deck lifts up and down. i only need a new drive shaft and the cv-joints while im at it, and i need the cover plate. i also noticed some hydraulic fluid leaking when it was in gear and sitting still, so i have a leak some where. only other problem is after i ran/drove it at full throttle for awhile it started surging up and down in rpm's and was worse at a low idle... so looks like i may need to look into that. if i kicked on the pto to mow grass it would run normal without surging but a battery light would come on... over all im happy with the outcome. just need to do some more work haha. i was curious you said it has safety switch issues cause of the pto only works when its not in the dash spot, im curious what could cause that? why would it affect it if its in the dash or not? i chased the wires a lil bit and didn't see anything wrong. but i didn't look at them much really. oh ya it does have a safety issues with the engine will start wether im on the seat or not as long as the brake is down..and when i go into reverse it does not kick off the mower deck.. i might be mistaken but i thought pto should automaticly turn off when i go into reverse? or am i suppose to do that myself? and im almost positive the seat should have a safety switch saying im sitting on it lol, but to answer what you asked i plan to keep this cub cadet, i really like it and its my first rider ive personaly owned plus im fixing it so it makes me feel better about it. i could easly buy a basic rider lawn mower already running for what im going to put into it in cash but i like what i have.

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.
