I am needing to do some retro fitting on my splitter. I have a engine with a taper shaft, I got a adapter made up to slip on the taper shaft that went to 1" shaft so I could drive the Love Joy coupler on to run my pump.
My problem, my pump and engine are not perfectly aligned so I am getting some awful vibrations. I wish there was a mount that I could mount the pump to the motor, but the taper shaft is to long for the normal mount that most of you guy's probably have.
At first I was going to throw another engine on, but seeing this engine only has 53 hour's on it, I am thinking I don't want to get rid of it. (It came off a Generator which died)
I think my easyest way to run the pump will be to run it by a belt.
I would like to see some of you guy's set ups with pumps that are powered with a belt, especially what you use to tension everythig up.
Also, part 2.....
Is the metal on the inside of a ram real hard? What type of drill bit will be my best bet to drill through a 2 1/2" shaft???
