On Cubs with standard tranmissions, the spring pin that connects the transmission input shaft to the collar
on the drive shaft from the engine sometimes shears. When this happens, it is pretty tough to get the pieces
of the broken pin out and to get a new pin properly located. To aid in this, I have drilled a 7/16" diameter
hole in the frame, in line with the hole in the transmission shaft. Now I can insert a 1/4" diameter 8" long
tool steel drift through that hole and align it with the pin in the shaft to drive out the broken parts.
It also works in reverse to drive in the new pin. To aid in holding the new pin at the correct angle, I made
up a 3/8" drift with a 1/4" diameter, 1/2" deep receess in one end to support the pin while I drive it into
the collar. I drive the pin with this tool as far as I can, then drive it the rest of the way with my 1/4" drift.
