I had talked with a couple guys about the best way to fit the motor in. It really has to move over a little farther than in looks. A sledgehammer would not be good enough.
The iron that needs to be cut is the shell of the motor, not the tailshaft itself. Also, when I was trying to cut the tailshaft before, I first tried it on a bandsaw. Didn't even put a dent in it. The tailshaft is hardened - a special cut-off wheel had to be used.
Looks like the best thing to do is trim down the coupler and spacers.
