Fun, Fun, Fun… trying to sort out 16 square hole (1940) and the 7 slit (1941and some early Post War) Usually a few parts are missing. Usually not always the sane so if you collect several motors the picture becomes clear. If no one else is on the job I can do some basement research and take a few photos,

Clutch assembly goes together one way and fits into prop snuggly, Someties needs clean out of corrosion,

Can use sheer pin, but, a little adjustment required.,

Louis, are you saying there’s clutch disc under the rubber cogged washer
that engages the shear pin?

I was wondering if the “guts” of the prop came out, and one could use
it as a regular prop, like the KB-1A prop?
I pried on the guts a little, but the rubber is pretty friable, so I didn’t try
too hard.

Prepare to be boarded!
