B-1 drive shaft and couplings

[guylu 0]

Hello I am reassembling my B-1 and I wasn't 100% sure about the drive shaft coupler. In my manual it looks like one piece, but mine is in two. With the motor out I can just reach in and pull the driveshaft out. this does not seem right. If so where can I get a new coupler?? Thanks

This is a comen problem with these old tractors.I try to put the good one where it can be seen and either get the replacement fiberglass one or you can make your own by cutting out a piece of thick belting and using the old plates bolt it together.It looks OK and has been working for me for years.But you do have to drill holes in the belting.It is hard to get it in the right place .bob
