I am replacing a single cylinder 16 HP BRiggs & Stratton engine on a Olathe Sweeper with a twin cylinder 18 HP Kohlor engine. Currently the engine and hydrostatic transmission is connected with 16 tooth roller-chain. I was told that I should replace the chain coupler with a flexible coupler.
The shaft on the engine is 1-1/8" bore with a 1/4" keyway and the transmission has a 1" bore with a 1/4" keyway. My question is, will a L 95 flexible coupling be strong enough for that application? Should I just keep the roller-chain application, been working for last ten years.
