quote FrankR:
The only reason I can think of is the splines are gone out of the crankshaft and they “fixed” it by welding it together. Take a look up in the crankshaft and see if I’m right. Looks to me like you need a drive shaft AND a crankshaft. Or another motor.
Wow, I think you are right (as usual) Frank! Have you seen that done before?
I have a 10 hp Scott that seems to share a lot of parts. Looks like the 10 hp powerhead could bolt right onto the 7.5. Different year, different drive shaft. The 10 has the water pump up higher in the leg.
