cub cadet clutch and drive line repairs part 1 

Clearly you're a man with a plan... off to watch the next part...

This looks like a fun project and it is great that you managed to source some parts a while back

Looks like you have a good grasp on the project

Off to a good start, Craig. You've got a lathe and the mills for making parts.

I have a 1000 series and having a hard time finding clutch parts. Where do you recommend purchasing parts?

it's lucky you scrounged some parts earlier, that saves time and expense.

I believe that 1200 is a totally different animal than the 86 and won't work for you, besides those parts are too valuable to try to alter them to fit the 86 you have. That 3 pin driver plate is real costly not to mention the $200. Bushing it takes for the special 1200 drive shaft!! I suggest you take all the 1200 parts and keep them together safe if you ever need them for a 1200. Just go buy your 86 parts.

There's your problem!
