Default 1872 just brought home

I picked up a local 1872 this morning. They seem to never show up less than 3-4 hours so when Todd posted this one in the EBay/Craigslist section, I jumped on it. I was the first to call and he lives in Nashville we played phone tag this week. I was not sure it was going to go through but it did. It was 30 miles from me.

So far it needs the fuel system cleaned, it seems to be running lean. It got hot fast with just running no load on a fast idle. The next problem I found and I saw it when I bought it, was the drive line. There is a wobble at the back. I just found that it at the rear coupling where it connects to the input shaft. I am in the process of trying to get it apart. I hope there is not much damage to the input shaft. I will post some pictures in a few minutes. Thanks in advance for the help I might need.

Well, the 1872 is nice tractor but that driveline worries me. I recently bought an 1872 hydro pump and coupling on ebay for about $400 with shipping. So good luck with that..

It bothers me as well. I have a spare hydro, I just wasn't planning on needing it so soon.

Yep, I was thinking he made some that have more meat in the back if the shaft is worn too bad.

I will pm him, when I get it disassembled.

I was lucky to buy an 1872 hydro shaft only from a member here for $40. Need to rebuild my old hydro someday..

Looking like you did great still even if those issues are a little spendy. You got one heck of a super. Good job getting it and thanks to Todd for the assist.

Super Hydros have a different output shaft from the GT hydros so keep that in mind.

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.
