These pieces came with my Lortone and motor. Assembling now. Instructions aren't the greatest. Anyone recognize these please?

The square stock is a shaft key. Some pulleys have a groove and if shaft is also grooved you use the key in the groove. Pulley will never slip. The round part is a shaft adapter. They come with 1/2" shaft motors to adapt to 5/8" pulleys. If you have a motor with a keyed shaft they likely came with the motor. I have a whole pile of the shaft adapters in a special box where I keep all those valuable things I'll maybe never need. Every once in a while they are useful.

The piece of metal on the right side might be a key to lock the shaft pulley to the motor or arbor pulley.

The piece on the left is called a slotted pin.

The 2 pieces together can fit a non keyed 1/2 inch motor shaft with a flat spot to a keyed 5/8 pulley. They often come with motors, and I also tend to hoard them.
