Fits Select 22, 25, 27 & 30 Ton DHT Splitters • 3/4" Engine-Side Coupler • 1/2" Pump-Side Coupler • L090 Spider Included
Restore the connection between your engine and hydraulic pump with the WSD30-363 LO90 “Lovejoy” Style 3-Jaw Coupler Combo, designed as a replacement coupling set for select 22-, 25-, 27-, and 30-ton DHT / Dirty Hand Tools log splitters.
This complete coupling combination replaces the original DHT engine-side coupler, pump-side coupler, and flexible jaw spider. Both couplers use standard square, non-tapered keyways and are designed to accommodate reasonable shaft or angular misalignment between the engine and hydraulic pump.
Key Features & Benefits
-
Complete Coupler & Spider Replacement Set
Includes both 3-jaw coupling halves plus the flexible L090 spider. -
Designed for Select Dirty Hand Tools Splitters
Intended as a replacement for compatible 22-, 25-, 27-, and 30-ton DHT hydraulic log splitters. -
3/4" Engine-Side Bore
Replaces DHT part 100398, the L090 jaw coupler used on the engine side. -
1/2" Pump-Side Bore
Replaces DHT part 100397, the L090 jaw coupler used on the hydraulic pump side. -
L090 Flexible Spider Included
Replaces DHT part 100124 and cushions the connection between the two metal coupling halves. -
Square, Non-Tapered Keyways
Both coupling halves feature standard square keyways rather than tapered keyways. -
Handles Reasonable Misalignment
The flexible jaw design can accommodate reasonable shaft and angular misalignment between connected components. -
Fail-Safe Jaw Coupling Design
The interlocking metal jaws are designed to continue transmitting power if the rubber spider becomes damaged. Increased noise or metal-to-metal contact indicates the coupling should be inspected and the spider replaced.
Replaces Dirty Hand Tools Parts
The WSD30-363 is designed to replace the following original DHT coupling components:
| DHT Part Number | Description | Position |
|---|---|---|
| 100398 | Jaw Coupler Assembly, 3/4" Bore, L090 | Engine Side |
| 100397 | Jaw Coupler Assembly, 1/2" Bore, L090 | Pump Side |
| 100124 | Jaw Spider Coupler, L090 | Between Couplers |
Rather than replacing the individual coupling components separately, the WSD30-363 provides the complete engine-to-pump coupling combination.
Compatible DHT Log Splitters
Designed for replacement applications on select:
- 22-Ton Dirty Hand Tools Log Splitters
- 25-Ton Dirty Hand Tools Log Splitters
- 27-Ton Dirty Hand Tools Log Splitters
- 30-Ton Dirty Hand Tools Log Splitters
Compatibility should be confirmed by checking the original coupler part numbers and shaft sizes before ordering.
How the 3-Jaw Coupler Works
The coupling system connects the engine output shaft to the hydraulic pump input shaft using two interlocking metal jaw couplers separated by a flexible rubber spider.
The spider helps:
- Cushion shock loads
- Reduce vibration
- Compensate for reasonable alignment differences
- Prevent direct metal-to-metal contact during normal operation
- Transfer engine power smoothly to the hydraulic pump
If the spider becomes severely worn or damaged, the metal jaws can still engage and transfer power. However, unusual coupling noise should be treated as an indication that the coupling assembly needs immediate inspection.

Important Compatibility Information
This coupling set is not universal. Before ordering, verify the original Dirty Hand Tools part numbers and confirm that your splitter uses:
- 3/4" engine shaft
- 1/2" hydraulic pump shaft
- L090-size jaw coupling
- Square, non-tapered keyways
Do not select a replacement coupling solely by the splitter's tonnage. Dirty Hand Tools models and production revisions may use different engines, pumps, shaft sizes, or coupling configurations.
