Identify this Coupling

Recommended Posts

oliver2-44

So I've seen several engine powered ice cream makers that use this stainless steel coupling.  It makes an easy removable connection between the driver shaft and the ice cream maker top gear frame.

In the add they call it a "Love Joy style" but its really different than a Love Joy since it has no rubber  spacer between the to coupling parts.  Seem like I've seen this somewhere else on some slow speed mixer machines.  

any help is appreciated to keep slowly identifying and gathering parts for my ice cream maker build.

Do you not use the standard rubber lovejoy for cleanliness purposes?  It sure looks like a pull start or hand start coupling, kicking away after it starts, not for continuous positive engagement.,,

This is the Lovejoy Coupler I am familiar with. Like Kevin said the one you referenced would kick out.

In Actuality i think the term " Lovejoy" is from the name of the co. that started it. Everybody uses the term "Lovejoy" almost as a slang term. Funny I was working on a dish washer during an afternoon and one of these "lovejoy" ends was seized onto a shaft of a bad wash motor. I needed one bad. I called 3 big industrial suppliers in the city of Rochester N.Y. and asked for a 1/2" Lovejoy coupler. Not one of those mohambies knew what I meant by "lovejoy"  Once I sent them a picture they new what I was talking about. "Oh a motor shaft coupler!" :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

This set up would work great, regardless of what they call it. It will only kick out it you rotate it in the wrong direction.

They will drive one direction and kickout the other direction which makes them easy to remove.  The square shouldered Love Joy would require a tool(  allen wrench) to slide one side of the coupling back to remove the mechanism.

If you want to do the job on the cheap you could get a steering rag joint and slide coupling from an auto dismantler. Should work fine for a light load at low RPMs. Slip joint will be handy for uncoupling it.

@953 nut   agree with that steering slide set up , would also add a  2 bolt flange bearing  to it for seamless operation . pete

@953 nut   was watching a car  show the other night , steering  shaft change issue , engine swap . guy did it perfectly , moving the slide bearing mount to different  areas , on the shaft  and finding  solid smooth control , went from a wreck to  perfect  as you watched .  pete

      So, on a rainy day, i was browsing local craigslist on other ads.  I stumbled across a good amount of hit n miss engines for sale.  I found a few Maytag 92 motors relatively close for sale.  Well, after talking to a member on here, Im hooked.  Im in the process of looking for the right one.  Im gathering parts to make a wagon mounted ice cream maker.

      Happy 4th  My 312-8 refurbishment is nearing completion (pic soon) and one attachment i would like to built is a tractor driven ice cream maker . I've seen a few general pictures of ice cream makers driven by garden tractors, hit or miss engines, Farmall B's etc 
      If anyone would share some close up pictures of how they've built one to fit a wheel horse I would appreciate it.  It would be a bonus if you;d share you operating speed, drive pulley sizes, and what you used for a front right angle gearbox, or any other little built details i haven't even thought of yet. 

      Thanks!
