I have a cub cadet 882 with the Kubota 3cyl diesel engine . The drive shaft is very inadequate for the torque off the diesel engine to the transmission. I know the next series up 1882 1782? had a much beefier shaft I would like to know if anyone has this tractor and has had a sucessful upgrade to a stronger design. The engineering department obviously stuffed the diesel in the gas hole and failed to consider the effects of power and torque to the rest of the system. I like the tractor and want to use it as it is very cheap on diesel for the work it puts out. I have already replaced the shaft and hub ends once and now my hydraulic line is nicked where the nuts go into the vibration dampner rubber disks.
