Did the coupler just bolt right up to the flange on the engine? It looks like it

I guess I went with this style drive shaft because having had a 2000 series Cub I was familiar with the driveshaft and all the components. Not familiar at all with the CV system.
The hub from Jeff was on the first time, I don't remember exactly the cost but it I do recall it was on the pricey side.
But that being said the quality was top notch and used spirol pin
and set screws to attach to the hydro input shaft. And I think he threw in the metal plate for the fan.
Now if you don't want to go that route and have the skills or access to a machinist, you can take that worn out hub that you have pictured in your opening post,
weld up the slots, and drill a new hole for a spirol pin. The hub would go on the hydro input shaft backwards and the new driveshaft coupler bolts right to it.
I did this on the second one, it's hard to see in this picture but you get the idea. Not as nice as Jeff's but it works.
Everything bolts up 1/4" x 1 1/4" bolts, four at each end.
