I noticed the flex joint on 1711 is bad, it looks like there are two flexes bolted together? When you buy a new one is it two disc or one disc?
Thanks |

Flex Disc's are sold as EACH. You will need four.

Also be sure to check your ball bushings on both ends of the drive shaft.

Considering what will be involved, just pull the drive shaft and replace all the flex discs and the front and rear ball bushings and all new spiral pins. You won't have to worry about it again for 15 maybe 20 years. I just did the whole thing to my 1711 late last year. Also to get the drive shaft out, you will need to loosen the four engine mount bolts and move the motor forward enough to make room to pull the drive shaft out.

The last one I fooled with was REALLY hard to get it to align.
I think once those splines wear some, getting the driveshaft to not wobble is a real art. ![]() Tighten this bolt, loosen that bolt, shim here, etc,,,,,,etc.....PHEW!!! Did I miss something? Or, is there a better way?

Another possibility:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-RELIANCE...-/300636837649 About 20+ years ago, I changed over 3-4 of my tractors from the rag coupling to the poly disc. These things are used as drive couplings between big electric motors and conveyor gearboxes and probably other uses. They're extremely tough! I used them for several years and they worked without distortion. Of course I put in new driveshafts, couplings, balls or whatever was required to repair worn steel parts. I don't know how long they will last because I only used the tractors daily for a few years and then parked them. They're still in the tractors today. |

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.
