Frank,
What you described is exactly what I expected, however; the 303441 part number is a mystery. The early CDs and the Gales use the 376093 driveshaft as you described, with the 5D14X motors being the exception….they call for 303441. 303441 shows up in the 1960 price list with no superseeded number. By 1964, it is not even in the price list (not even showing a replacement number)
I too though that the Gales had steel shafts. My experience that most of the steel shafts have 550XXX or 552XXX numbers, but maybe this is the case here too. I have a complete motor and a secon that is only the lower section, both are 5D14V and the shafts are both among the worst I have seen. The 4 course slpines at the top are worn away by 1/2 of thier width. I need to clean out the crank, but suspect that it is toast.
Chris,
I will measure the shaft and send the dimension. I am pretty sure I have one, but will likeley need a crank….or whol parts motor.
