I have a g1800 4 wheel turning diesel. Last week when I was mowning the u joint on the drive shaft broke /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif. I ordered the new drive shaft, yoke, and u joints and replaced the drive shaft. when I started the mower everything seemed fine until I tried to use the hydrostat. the pin on the back of the drive shaft broke and the drive shaft came off. Is there something wrong with the transmission, hyrostat, etc that is causing the
drive shaft to lock up and come off? I was going to change the transmission fluid and clean the screen tonight to see if that is the problem, but I am afraid of breaking the drive shaft or something worse if there are other problems. ????
