Default spline shaft adapter, John Deere Gator electric conversion

Hello I am doing an electric conversion on a John Deere Gator I finally got the controller of solenoid and motor running however I have come down to a problem with the transaxle spline shaft, I wanted to know if any of you had any good ideas on how I can put a sprocket on an 18 spline 3/4-in shaft I can't seem to find anything with those dimensions online

Any ideas?

I assume you want an 18-3/4 splined shaft, and then a chain sprocket on the OD?

If it’s true 3/4” OD then any round sprocket could be put on, just use a bolt on spline adapter. Or weld it on.

If it’s a gator with the leaf springs in the back you could probably just ditch the original axle and bolt in a Club car graziano electric rear axle and everything should bolt up. A lot of gators came with a Kawasaki FE engine and the rear axle was similar to the Kawasaki axle used on early Club Cars.

I thank you for your replies, I didn't have calipers but it appears to be 3/4 in and the plan is to have a sprocket and do chain drive

I believe the original engine was the Kawasaki fe290,

I tried to look for the dimensions on that particular engine to find what the female adapter dimensions were but could not find much

So if I understand correctly I don't necessarily need to have a splined adapter just some sort of three-quarter inch hub which could be bolted into the spline shaft?
