It wasn't keyed then Ken but it is now.
Don't have any broaches, or a press big enough to centre the gear in. So the shaper came to the rescue again.

Was about at the limit for the Logan. Bolted a scrap of 5x5 angle to the bed and clamped the gear to that. Had the bottom resting on the base for the table support.

Mounting the shaft on the mill was a challenge too. Aligned it to the front edge of the table with a Starret height transfer stand (had to look it up on the net), the two pins slide along the face of the bed with an indicator mounted on it. Checked the shaft weight, 260 pounds.

Fitted with a 1/2 inch key.

Free advice is worth exactly what you payed for it.
