Troy: Yes, there should be spacers under all four bolts. You are correct, the geometry of the drive train is very important and has been discussed on this Forum before by Steve Blunier (both of them). After experiencing what I consider premature wear on my flange bearing, I'm finally breaking down and ordering bonafide Cub Cadet spacers from CCSpecialties (see pic below). I was also counseled to grease the flange bearing lightly upon installation. Check the FAQs about the jerky motion on your hydro, it will tell you how to fix the trunnion, very important and common repair for a hydrostatic transmission.

I took those spacers out of all 3 of my 82 series tractors. 2 of them have CV driveshafts so a slight misalignment is ok with me. Secondly, when I got all 3 tractors the engine was loose and those spacers had managed to eat halfway through the engine mounting tabs and 1/8" into the steel mounting plate. I wasn't going to weld up all that mess. I put one big flat steel washer where the spacers goes installed new bolts, washers, and steel lock nuts.
I don't like those spacers.... Not at all.
