Lovejoy Couplings

Lovejoy coupling has arrived from drillspot.com (these guys had really fast shipping at a reasonable price). We ended up getting a 1 5/8" coupler for the transmission side, a 1 1/8" coupler on the motor side, and a matching spider insert. We've taken our disassembled clutch plate piece to a machinist, and had him cut it down to 1 5/8". We will then be able to fit the clutch plate into the transmission Lovejoy. The couplings pieces are pure aluminum, weigh just over a pound each, and are held in place by a key. Our spider insert is made of rubber and weighs less than half a pound.
