125 driveshaft repair

Post by JMotuzick »

Sorry I forgot to take before pictures!
My old 125 with danco loader lost the dowel pin on the Driveshaft about 10 years ago in the middle of s snow storm in the middle of the street! I used the loader to push myself off the road and replaced the pin. It went shooting out 20 feet up my neighbors driveway. I went to the auto Parts store and picked up a bigger hose clamp and a short peice of radiator hose. New pin and the hose/clamp to keep it installed. About 4 years ago the exact same thing happened! The hose had been chewed up and the pin went in my new driveway again mid snow clean up. This time I used a 1/4-20 with a nut. It held up for about 2 years and again broke. At this point I had sold it to a friend here in town and I upgraded to a 1872/kiwk-way. He used a bolt on and off and it kept braking or shooting out. Finally he had enough and dropped it for me...using parts from a QL this is what I came up with...::

Next up is the leaky pump and both curl Pistons. Looking for part numbers if anyone has any for a rd-2000. Not having much luck on-line. When I get numbers I’ll get parts and do a thread for instructions and to keep the part numbers handy.

That kit is missing the retaining ring, it’s basically a peice of key stock with a tag bent in one end, a point on the other.

It’s all back together, well almost. I stripped out a aluminum fitting as I cross threaded it upon reasonably. 4$ on epay and it will be here mid-week. With work I don’t think I could get one locally before then anyway. Soooo another week before I know if my repairs work or not! I’ll keep everyone posted.

Another parts lost from a different place for the seals…. I like the prices from 3 years ago better!

I did that drive shaft modification on my Cub 147 a couple of years ago.  Much better reliability.

Has anyone put a coupling joint like that on a Cub 70 at the transaxle?  Those solid couplings seem to get loose quickly.
