Hi folks - here's a big ask and a fairly long post .....
I am hoping someone has an M2684 snowblower (like mine) or model with the same driveshaft spacer.... I am looking for the dimensions of the drive shaft spacer (a photo would be awesome as well).
Here's some more info...
I have a 2018 Kubota M2684 (3pt 84" snowblower) -has been rock solid (except for some shear bolts that seem to break when I run over my kids and pets) until the other night, when...
In addition to a failed drive shaft shear bolt, the end of the driveshaft snapped. It appears that a weld failed inside the auger drive cog. Consequently the driveshaft dropped out of the blower and the spacer is gone. The driveshaft coupler (gearbox side) was also damaged.
Have ordered all the parts I am going to need(new drive shaft, couplers, etc) except the spacer is back-ordered nationwide -- with no ETA.
The spacer sits on the end of the driveshaft so that the drive shaft cog (that spins the auger chain) has the correct stand-off from the inside of the snowblower casing. I believe this spacer also helps the driveshaft from sliding / dropping out when the driveshaft shear bolt breaks,
Kubota part# for the spacer is 70060-02553. In the diagram below, the spacer is part#120.
I've also included a photo of the cog end of the driveshaft and the piece that came unwelded from the cog (this is the piece that holds the spacer).
I am going to fab up my own spacer - I know what the id (inside diameter) needs to be (driveshaft appears to be 1 1/8" in diameter) and have read that length is 1 3/16" -- Kubota also lists it as 1 3/32" in length. Curious as to what the OD is. Would love dimensional confirmation as to diameter and length.
Thanks.
Josh
