When underneath doing the 50 hour service on the B2601, I looked to see what Kubota has to connect the engine to the HST. At the end of the engine shaft is a collar with an allen screw in it. Kubota apparently carefully aligns the engine shaft with the HST input shaft to only use a collar. It's about 6 inches long.

Cannot see what is at the HST end.

No problems with the Ujoint exploding like it did on my JD 4010 (like a 2019E if made).

This the same on all Kubotas?
