Above: tranny with adapter plate & motor end bell in place
Customized Lovejoy motor/input shaft coupler
Eploded view... Ughh, bad choice of words.
The reason this was somewhat difficult: internal splines on motor (armature shown)
Potential problem? Compare diameter of motor splines welded into lovejoy, to splined tranny input shaft diameter. About 2/3 the size. Weak link in the chain???
