I run an MTD snowblower attachment on my lawn tractor and about 2 years ago 1/2 of the Lovejoy coupling snapped so I replaced it along with the plastic insert/spider. The model number is 190-032.
This coupling connects the output shaft of the right angle drive to the input shaft of the impeller.
Today the entire coupling shat the bed,all 3 jaws on one side gone, the jaws on the other half has badly damaged jaws but the spider is more or less intact, surprisingly.
I figure those couplings should last longer than 2 years so I've done something wrong during my last repair.
The only adjustment i could see was sliding the individual components back & forth on their respective shafts so I gave them about 1/4" clearance between them.
Has anybody had any experience with these couplers,secrets to installing them properly?
Thanks...
