Input shaft spline or keyed
Any bunker rake or AMT, which has a like transaxle, that I have seen has a keyed shaft. The only left hand threaded bolt that I have seen is in the early 4x2/6x4 transaxle with the inboard brakes and a completely different case. I'm wondering if those shafts are the same. Stranger things have happened, I suppose.

Well, curiosity was killing me and I had to check. I dug one of each out and there is no way. Different lengths, interior splines, diameters etc. So much for that theory.

When you say you have a KT35 transaxle do you have inboard brakes? I don't think that transaxle belongs in that machine. That certainly explains why you had a left hand thread bolt in the input shaft. That transaxle was in the early 6x4/4x2 Gators. Do the transaxle mounts look like they came from the factory or did someone make them?

If this is the picture of what you have, it is not a K35 it is a K30 and it is a bunker rake K30 because there is a brake disc on the side. No other K30 has that. If it was a K35 it would have internal brakes. Everything in that picture is correct for a K30 except it has a splined shaft. Is the other picture of the input shaft that is in it? That is out of a 4x2 or 6x4. A normal input shaft for a K30 is a lot longer and a smaller diameter. Very strange............

I think I am starting to catch on. The 1200A after a certain serial number went to the roller style drive clutch that you have. Evidently around that same time they changed the driven clutch to a splined shaft, but didn't change the picture in the book or mention anything about going from a keyed shaft to a splined shaft. I looked part numbers up for the old 4x2 and the bunker rake and one part number I know that is a splined hole is also called for in the bunker rake, So I would say that numbers after that for the bunker rake have splined holes. That picture you posted is for an old 4x2 and will not fit in the K30 that you have.

Yes, it's just like the one in the book with a shorter splined shaft and that seems to be what you have. It would have to be shorter to accommodate the splined driven clutch that is compatible with the 4x2. If you look at the two pictures you posted the one that goes in the K30 has two sprockets and is altogether a different drive system. That keyed shaft pictured in the parts book sticks out about 6 inches from the case. It looks like the shaft on yours is less than 4 inches and that would accommodate the splined clutch. So I think the inside of your input shaft looks like the picture for the 1200A you posted only with a shorter splined shaft. If you need something for it we can figure it out. The left hand thread was first in the 4x2 then they went to 10mm right hand. I don't know if they ever went to 10mm in the bunker rake. Whew..........
