Are these two one and the same? I have a manual but I don't see how the large wingnut locks up the rear axle. Does anyone have a good illustrated bearkdown veiw of it? I am restoring an H-16

An H-16 is a 1656.
The H14 (1456) or H15 (1556) parts manuals will serve. Only the engines differ.

How it locks:
On the right side the hub is always keyed solidly to the axle. On the left side a tapered brass cone is always keyed solidly to the axle.

The large wingnut forces the tapered brass cone into a matching tapered funnel machined into the left hub. The friction locks the left hub to the axle. Then you can spin both wheels when you lose traction. :)

Just to let you know there was no H15 there was just the 1556

Oh. Right. Sorry.
But there shoulda been. A previous owner dropped an OO-150 into my H14. That makes it an H14/15. Or something.
