if you have the whole gear case assembly with the gears i would prefer it, if they are runnable. when i got this motor it had the propshaft removed and the guy i bought it from is in the process of getting me the parts he removed. they are in a box somewhere he says. what sort of condition is your unit in?<br /><br />Anthony
