This aftermarket PTO mower deck driveshaft is for compatible Cub Cadet garden tractors using a deck-driven PTO system. It transfers power from the tractor PTO to the mower deck so the blade drive can operate as intended. Built to match OEM Built as a direct aftermarket replacement, this driveshaft is made to follow the original deck drive layout and mounting points. The shaft geometry and connection points are intended to match the original-style fit so it works with the existing PTO mower deck system. Installation This part is intended to install in the original PTO mower deck driveshaft location without modification when used on a compatible machine. Basic hand tools are typically used for removal and installation; inspect nearby couplers, guards, bearings, and hardware while the deck drive is apart. .product-description-v2 { font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, Segoe UI, Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; color: #1d1d1d; line-height: 1.55; max-width: 720px; } .product-description-v2 > div { margin-bottom: 18px; } .product-description-v2 h3 { font-size: 16px; font-weight: 700; color: #1d1d1d; margin: 0 0 8px; } .product-description-v2 p { margin: 0; font-size: 15px; } @media (max-width: 768px) { .product-description-v2 { font-size: 15px; } }
