Shafted Again!
Argh. It turns out the new shaft keyway doesn't match the keyway on the engine coupler. I could probably make it fit, with the smaller keystock, but... Guess I'll order up a new split coupler. And so it goe$.
As long as I'm waiting for more part$, it seems like a good idea to replace the shaft log hose, and throw a couple more clamps on there too, if they'll fit.
However, I am not having any luck finding any in this size. The smallest hose I can find on line is 1-1/2 inch ID. The log is 1-3/8 and the stuffing box is 1-3/16. Seems like 1-1/4 ID hose would be the best match. Anybody got a handle on such an animal?
I think I'd more inclined to re-use the old piece than to try to squeeze down a piece that's too big.
