Anyone ever see a shaft key like this? Its a A.O Smith 5hp motor with a 1" shaft off a Craftsman twin piston air compressor. Looking to repurpose this motor if possible. If this key way wedge is some kind of standard, Ill try to find an adapter. It it is proprietary design, I'll just cut a piece of 1" keyway'ed shaft to fit the wedge and work with it that way. Just looking for suggestions.

I suspect that it originally had a tapered pin, with a threaded end and a tightening nut on the pin.
