Which drive hub
I've sold my speed reducer and forgot to include the drive hub. Problem is, idk which one is the correct drive hub for the speed reducer. I've got 3 different hubs. 1 has a closed end with 4 grooves, 90° apart. Another is open all the way through and has 5 grooves. The 3rd one is longer than the other 2, the exterior steps down in size and it has 4 grooves. Could someone post a picture of the correct drive hub for me?

4 groove = driving shaft(headstock).
stepped is usually upper headstock shaft
closed is typically lower headstock shaft and short.
I am guessing the last one.

Re: Which drive hub
I didn't have a picture of the 5 groove hub itself, but here is a picture of the mating end inside the end of the Speed Reducer.

Re: Which drive hub
Either of the two in the center with the 5 grooves. Look at br549's picture. It requires a 5 groove hub. The length does not matter.jjj240 wrote:Here's a picture I found.

I don't recall ever seen different size in 5 groove (headstock side).
I've seen different length in 4-groove though... as seen in the picture.
Re: Which drive hub
I have never paid any attention. I have lots of hubs here. It just looked like in the picture the two 5 groove hubs were different lengths. Camera angle.jjj240 wrote:jsburger wrote:Either of the two in the center with the 5 grooves. Look at br549's picture. It requires a 5 groove hub.

Re: Which drive hub
4 GROOVE - stepped like the pix above / short, open both ends and closed on one end / long but full diameter and grooves the entire length(power station only???). Always 5/8" id.
5 groove - two different bore diameters - 1/2" and 5/8".
The short 5 groove was initially(greenie vintage) somewhat round shaped(ends rounded off).
Any others???
