Default update to "Issue with 1782 driveshaft"

So after a very tough day yesterday installing a complete NOS driveshaft and CV joints on my 1991 1782 and finding that the parts may be defective I slept on it and with new eyes decided to remove the driveshaft and start from scratch. The first thing that caught my eye was the flange off of the hydro pump seemed loose and wobbly. The next issue I found was when I removed the radiator, it exposed the front CV joint where I saw the cap head bolt heads were warn so I turned my attention to the radiator where I saw the bottom bracket was making contact with the bolt heads. The original bolts were just a grade 2 hex head which deviates from the assembly drawings. My ultimate solution was to (A) replace the socket head cap screws with Grade 8 flange head bolts which lowered the profile and (B) tightened up the flange on the hydro pump. I repacked the CV joints and confirmed that I timed the joints just in case. I reassembled the drive line and before I put the radiator in I started the engine and it was perfect! I then reinstalled the radiator and the rattling noise was back. I still am lightly rubbing the radiator with the bolt heads. I will have to remove the radiator again and modify the bottom bracket to get the clearance I need. Not sure why this assembly is so tight but hopefully someone learns from my experiences.

The phillips screws holding the plate to the engine are suppose to be fit flush with the plate when tightened.

This is what the adapter is supposed to look like and the proper screws to attach it to the engine. McMaster Carr 91294A284 Metric Flat Head Socket Cap Screw, Class 10.9 Stl, M8 Size, 20mm Length, 1.25mm Pitch

Default 1782 Drive shaft

I looked through the parts list and they list that bolt as a Hex Patch Screw! That is the bolt that connects the drive coupling to the engine adapter plate. I do see that the engine adapter plate is attached using the Flat head countersunk screws. Was that what you were referring to?

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.
