Looks like I have found an easier solution. Rather than finding a
hose to fit over the shaft/motor coupler I can use 3/4 PVC
sched-40 or a 1 inch plastic pipe barb fitting to fit inside the
shaft/motor coupler. That gives me a short fitting to attach the
air compensation hose to and it's smaller diameter so will be
easier to find tubing or hose to fit it.<br clear="none">
<br clear="none">
With that, I think at this point I'm going to choose air
compensation. While it requires more equipment and a potential
octopus of tubing to retrofit it to the K-600, it has some very
good advantages when it comes to easy-access to the motor when
maintenance is required in the future.<br clear="none">

However, I reserve the right to change my mind. :)<br clear="none">
