My feed rollers had love joys welded onto them. You should be able to repair the key way via welding and machining out a new keyway.

I might look into the love joy idea that would be cool, well until.they wear out or break which I guess can be avoided by inspecting the rubber do dad..

I remember when I was looking for info on the 200 when I was thinking about buying it I saw an awesome write up on repairing and eliminating the key'd connection point but I can't find anything on it no more

The love joy rubbers are like 10 bucks each.

For future reference what I ended up doing was getting a one inch keyed shaft a length of 1/4x 1/4 key stock I got the shaft into the roller as deep as u can go drilled a 5/16ths hole through the shaft inline with the holes for the set screws on the roller thru a bolt in it cut the shaft about an inch an a half out of the roller bought a 3" long coupler slipped it over the shaft stuck the hydro motor in the remaining inch and a half of the coupler and presto good as new!
