My B110 has what appears to be a piece of fiber reinforced nylon, about 1/8" thick to couple the engine and tranny. It works but should I replace it? I tend to believe if it ain't broke, why fix it. Anyway, looking online at a parts dealer, I ran across this. http://www.joesoutdoorpower.com/servlet/the-6847/Allis-Chalmers-B-dsh-110-Tractor/Detail

If it is broke don`t fix it. Check the bolt as make sure they are tight. The only ones I ever seen go bad is because the bolts loosened up.

Ditto what Ray said. If run w/o tight bolts the holes will wear and cause vibration. the part you linked appears to be one attached to engine rather than the fiber coupler you describe. If you do need one several of us have extras laying around. check out this discussion: http://www.simpletractors.com/club2/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=111990&SearchTerms=drive,shaft,coupler

The item you show is a driveshaft spacer. It bolts to the flywheel and the flexplate them bolts to it. The fiberglass flexplates are what all of the later models used. Some of the early ones had metal plates bonded together with rubber, but those were superceded by the flexplates.
