The tractor was run hot to cause the cracks. That is the way I bought it. Yes they are plugs or as the machinist called them "Pins". The crack does not go into a water jacket and are just to stop movement/spreading cracks. Yes #2 is a plug as well. Both valves were bored and new seats installed. The machine shop assured me that this is a good fix but, I will watch it close when I fire it up.
Here are some pictures of the front drive shaft. First is the output from the transmission, second is the rear end of the shaft assembly. The small flanged fitting has an O ring outside and a seal on the inside. There is a straight splined coupling on each end. Third is the FWD end. Large flanged fitting has the same O ring, seal but also has roller bearings. Last is the front axle.

Hi Russell, I'm looking for a drive shaft just like this, any advice on where to find one? Thanks so much for these pictures I'm a new owner and didn't even know the driveshaft was missing until after I bought it.

cool, I'm sure a 3/4" metric socket set would have the right socket.

Hello new friends,
Just got a 1700 that has been sitting for 20 years, launching off into a new project. Will keep you informed and looking for all advice.

Welcome to TBN Blue, you will find bunch of good info on 1700. When you have a question then it is best to make anew thread rather than latching to an old one. You will get more feedback.
