Dug through my stock, (junk shed) and found a more suitable reducer that had a male shaft on the input. Another problem arose, the original was vented on the top but I need to hang it upside down, so rather than change the vent we have rev 43.a. Used double roller chain to couple the motor to the reducer. This box must have been made for a particular application, where the output had to be aligned. It was bolted in two places with two opposing set screws to tilt it. They were machined away to allow for 4 bolts.
Doesn't look like 3 days work.
Some engineers need to be slapped. The 4 bolt holes around the output shaft weren't concentric. The side ones were equal distant from the shaft but the top and bottom were at totally obscure dimensions.

Free advice is worth exactly what you payed for it.
