the thrust bearing is part of the hub. |

The splined hub in a crank case, Note
that the rear casting of the hub is flush with the front of the crankcase.

The splined hub in an unpainted crank
case. It is not bolted in. If you look carefully, you can see
the back portion of the hub sits inside the front of the crankcase. |

If you look into the side of the prop
hub, you can see the casting protruding forward. This is one test to
determine that you have a splined hub. |

This hub is not bolted on.
Normally you'd see nuts. Notice in this picture that one of the
studs is missing. Opps. I didn't notice that when I took the picture. |

This is a picture of an engine with a
tapered crank. Note the thrust plate on this engine. The thust
bearing is behind the thrust plate, unlike the splined hub in which the
thrust bearing is part of the hub. Also note the use of bolts
instead of studs. All you see is the drilled-head bolts that are
safetied to each other. |

This is a picture of an engine with a
tapered crank. This picture has the tapered hub slid onto the crank.
Notice how simple the tapered hub is compared to the complex tapered hub. |

This is a picture of an engine with a
tapered crank. A side view of the tapered hub on the engine.
If you look behind the prop hub, you will see the safetied bolts that hold
the thrust plate. Looking for the bolt heads is a test to determine
which type of crankshaft you have. |

This is a picture of an engine with a
tapered crank. Side view without the hub. This tapered photo
is in this section for comparisons reasons. |
