Crank for VV-4-3?

Post by alang »

An older gentleman brought me a VV-4-3 motor and asked me to find a crank for it. I tried the one from my VV-4-3, but it does not even fit into the hole. On closer inspection I found that there are no threads inside the crank hole :!: There is also some do-hickey attached to the ratcheting device that I have never seen before. Please see attached pictures. Has anyone seen this arrangement before and what kind of crank do I need for it?

Thanks
Andreas

The end piece with the threads is missing. I don't remember how it is fitted together, but the piece with the threads is separate from the ratchet gear.

Thank you very much for that picture. Now it makes sense. Does amyone know, how that part is connected?

Thanks
