Had better days with the 2372
Don't even start hacking on me. I feel bad enough already. NO ONE WAS HURT, in this catastrophe...
Just wanted to post, hoping no one will ever have this happen to them. And the worst part, well, maybe not the worst, think the tractor took the blunt of the worst. But this all could have been avoided, IF I would have used new prevailing torque lock nuts throughout. Yeah, I used one older nut on the driveshaft flex disc joint, instead of all new one's. Why? I wish I had a good answer, call it lazy. Too lazy to go to town for one nut. I had three new one's, and that was it, so... Installed a new driveshaft last week that my machine guy up here made, as my other one was worn out a bit on the ends. That all started when I needed to replace the seal on the pump, then noticed the driveshaft was in poor shape, so get a new one. Haven't dug into it yet, that'll happen another day. So if anyone is replacing a driveshaft, OR anything in that area, don't reuse the nuts. This could be you... Anyway, here's a few pictures of my mess. And HOLY COW, did that SOB make a racket when it let loose. Almost scared the chit out of me. The 1650 is going back on lawn duty for awhile. Cause this repair is going to take me awhile.

Ouch! I'm glad you came out ok, I'd hate to think what a heavy shaft spinning at ~3600rpm between my legs could do to my...southern region in the seconds it'd take to turn the machine off.

Dang Todd, that SOB tore some chit up! No one got hurt, that's the main thing. Good thing to have a nice backup grass cutter. Did it just grenade all at once?
I do have a question about what type of nuts to use. I use the grade 5 nylon lock nuts and grade 8 bolts from TSC and I think I put a dab of blue Loctite on them. Is it okay to use them in that application? Here is what mine look like. DSCN3239.jpg DSCN3238.jpg

Yikes is all I can say. I've been using over the locknuts if I didn't have new ones. Pretty certain I have been using the kind with the dimple in the side. I need to check some of my stuff and make sure all is tight.
Sorry about the mower, but glad you are OK--that's the important thing!

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.
