Default Drive Shaft help needed

I'm sure this issue has been discussed before but I wanted to get some different opinions on a drive shaft for my 1872. The coupler that hooks to the hydro is completely shot (splines on the hydro are fine). Now the coupler that hooks to the engine is shot also. It looks like to me the shaft end that goes into the engine coupler should have splines????? Let me know what you guys think would be the best route on this one. Don't have much money in this machine but plan on making it usable and to look nice farther down the road.

There's no splines for the engine side. You may need a new driveshaft if the ends are worn down. The ends in the picture look pretty rough.

The rag joint style drive shafts can be upgraded to the newer style.

Sam Mac, FrankF3 and a few others did all the research for us.

Yes it is. Drove out there Friday night to get it. Girlfriends parents live in Junction city so we stayed there Friday night.

If you decide to go the CV style try the sponsors at the top of the page or member rweaver. You'll need the complete drive shaft and pump adapter from an 1882. You will need to drill and tap the center on your hydro pump input shaft for a 1/4-28 bolt, other than that it's all bolt in. Pics are of an 1872 that I did a couple years ago.

The part you need for the front of the driveshaft (back of the engine) is a flange assembly 903-0204. I just bought one on Partstree for about $30 shipped. That hole in the center is supposed to have a bevelled bushing inside that supports the driveshaft. Yours is missing which is why the driveshaft looks so beat up. Luckily I caught mine before it did any damage.

Talking

Just ordered almost a whole new drive line from my cub dealer. Got both couplers for the front and the rear and the shaft along with the fan. Hopefully will have them by the end of the week. Bad thing is deer season opens Saturday here in MO. Hoping I can tag out early Saturday though so I can get the thing back to life.

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.
