Here is the results of last night's work.

On the left is the original coupler, cut, trimmed, and rebuilt.

On the right is a NEW pair of lovejoys which I picked up in case we needed to use them. The machinist was able to re-use the original parts, so I can stay on budget by returning the new ones to the store!





Yes, I know the spider on the left isn't looking so good. THAT part is NOT getting re-used! But that's what I get for driving around the neighborhood with an improperly mounted motor!
