I have a Omnicon MP 2-8-0 in for some R&R. It has had a hard knock life with the tender swapped out, masquerading as a poor NYC loco now.
For some reason the plastic coupling frequently slips on the motor shaft, but not the tower input shaft. I don't know why because they the same situation. I tried but could not get the coupling to slip on the tower shaft. My fix has been ongoing for many years now in various forms from tapping the plastic coupling to brass tube and nuts soldered in place. This latest version is solid round brass stock drilled out to the O D of the plastic coupling. My new lathe made it all fun! (:->) I am going to say the wall thickness is about .040 when I am done. Drill have tap the whole thing for 2) 0-80 screws on shaft center - directly across from each other. Crank it all up tight for a slip free operation.
