I would have to say that what is showing in Steve’s photograph is an early version of the McLeod throwout bearing
My experience started over 20 years ago with the McLeod throwout bearing installed by Dennis in the mid-1990s. My first rebuild went just fine. My second rebuild was difficult
McLeod customer support is poor, and that is putting it mildly. Their rebuild kit for these bearings has retained the same part number despite being upgraded at least two times. I learned this when I ordered my second rebuild kit and what they sent had no relation to what was currently installed, having previously used a rebuild kit with the exact same part number. Turns out they had changed the design a little bit but kept the same part number for a rebuild kit. 😳🤷♂️ I had to upgrade to a new bearing carrier and the larger bearing.
you’ll find McLeod cannot provide a rebuild kit for the bearing shown in Steve’s photo. He will have to do as I did and upgrade to a newer unit. IIRC they did give me a little bit of credit when I returned the early version
