You will be looking for a 1 MT (Morse taper) drive , 2 prong or 4 prong. 2 prong is my preference as the face of the end of your timber does not need to be 90 degrees to the drive. If you have a 4 prong and the face is not 90 to the drive those extra two prong can prevent the drive from grabbing properly, on hardwoods anyway.
The live centres, Jacobs drill Chuck etc also 1MT go in the tail stock .
Any Chuck or faceplate for holding work on the headstock will thread on and has a 3/4 x 16 thread.
 
After looking at those links, It would be cheaper to get someone to weld a bolt to the fixing nut as a handle
and neatly finish it off!
Regards Rodders
