I’m just wondering if the pin actually passes all the way thru both sides of the gear and the pin. The pin would have to be a press fit in the hole to.prevent it from working out inside the gearcase. If a press fit pin shears off clean in a hole, it is not always immediately apparent where the pin is. Their could be especially true if that gear has been whirling around the shaft for a while. Could it be possible that the surface is just evenly burnished and hiding the remaining segment of the pin that is still stuck in the prop shaft? If there is a hole in thru both sides of the gear I have a tough time thinking they didn’t have the pin pass all the way thru the assembly. See what you can find when you look at it again.
