Where was yours shipped from? I may have been looking at the wrong e-bay listing(yours).BuckeyeDennis wrote:By bizarre coincidence, I bought a Speed Reducer on eBay a couple days after wannabewoodworker sold his. And it came without the "Drive Hub", ShopSmith part # 503740. I suspect that this may be the part in question here -- the male hub that goes on the spindle -- not a female-female coupler. Same as the one identified below as the "belt sander drive hub". According to the manual, it is included with the speed reducer, and is required in order to use the reducer either in spindle-mount mode or band-saw drive mode.

So I emailed the seller and asked if he still had it. If not, no problem, SS sells them for $3.50. I just wasn't too excited about a potential backorder and/or large shipping charge from the mother ship.
When I first saw this thread, though, I thought that I was the "bad guy" customer in question. Whew!Turns out that my seller lives in a different part of the country.
BTW, the eBay listing of the one I bought showed only a stock SS photo of the speed reducer, so I was knowingly taking a risk on the goods. Turned out to be a nice one, though, and I got it for a good price.
