Jaw/Lovejoy coupler

Trying to put a hydraulic motor on a sweeper, found that the shaft driv e on the sweeper is 7/8" hexagon. Does anyone know were hexagon couplers can be found I have looked most places were I buy my hydraulic and coupler parts with no luck.::thumbsup:

If all else fails can you purchase a coupler that has a smaller bore or a blank and have someone broach the hex for you?

LoveJoy & Magnaloy are two companies that I believe both offer blanks.

If length isn't a problem maybe you could weld a 6 point socket to the coupling to slip on the shaft.
