Default 1782 custom driveshaft options?
My 1782 with just under 500 hours now has a driveshaft rattle. I changed the balls out in the rear joint, but it did nothing. The darn thing is annoying to the point I hate to crank it. The hub to splined shaft is tight. If I push a stick in there to load the coupling it gets quiet.

So what is everyone else using for cv or universal joints since the factory parts are not available?

Did you ever grease it?

For the last 100 hours that I have been the owner, yes. Frequently. Before that, it's doubtful.

There is not a kit available, but the parts are still available. Jeff in Pa makes the pump adapters.

Mister monkoid I know you said it was “tight” but did you verify that the 10mm bolt in the middle that holds the coupling to the spline shaft is there and tight? Just making sure you covered all the bases. The smallest rattle can be magnified as you know.

Most everyone buys a used Cyclops CV shaft, and machines it to work in the diesels. Jeff in PA makes all the necessary parts. (Parts By Jeff, up top.) Holler at him and he will hook you up.

Today I pulled apart the rear driveshaft joint and realized the greater part of the noise is coming from the pump. After inspecting another old one I had on the shelf it appears the only thing that could rattle is the piston block on the splined shaft.

Applying a load via putting a slight pressure on the steering wheel and the rattle goes away. Right after cranking when the oil is thick it doesn't make a noise either.

It seems like the power pulses of the diesel engine are slamming the splined shaft and the piston block together. Is this a normal occurrence? Seems like it would hammer the splines off over time.

Sounds like the pump adapter is wore out. Maybe the input shaft on the pump. Very common on a diesel. I promise, it's not the piston block loose internally on the shaft.

I guess sound can travel strange places through steel.

That's good to know. Thankyou sir.

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.
