Thanks Frank.

That is pretty different from mine. I did not open the case but my Prop shaft had a different spring setup and what looks like a design with a bunch of shims and spacers . Probably designed to be able to hit bottom without damaging gears. My pressure test was half assed but seemed pretty good. I think I will just run it with the grease once I get the lubriplate and at least put the carb back together and see if I can fire it up for first time in 30 years. I got the spark working so hopefully the carb work will be good too.
