    What’s the deal with this clutch ???

    this was on a roller my son picked up so not sure if it’s good or not. My question is what is that part with the two set screws, is that part of the clutch? Looks like it’s not. Also the key way looks trapped in there.

    Excited about my pick today, I had a sears drover back in about 1979. This looks like it pretty close. I will paint it green! It might be a 4+4 from the ad close enough for me !
