Yeah, ebay might have some NOS for less too. Although, $60 for a brand new clutch dog isn't all that bad (or good). I seem to remember one for my'61 10hp being like $120 :/ This link should help with any future part numbers you may need. It's for the same year/model of your motor minus the electric starter, but is otherwise the same. Hope it helps. Keep us posted.

hank`s Captain Zepher,Currently on my 2nd clutch dog,Original had been reversed by previous owner. Can reverse this one. Did not have manule 1st time I did the job, Have since gotten one. Found out that possible cause is that it needs to be properly shimmed. Do not have it torn down at this time, and have misplaced manule.so far have not located the speghetti seal (PN 302604),probably take it to NAPA parts and try to match it up. Was getting water in/mixed in the gear case,any ideal what was causing that ? Sure do miss that manule! Well Thank`s Again!

$60 is pretty cheap for a clutch dog! I have the manual in pdf if you want it. If yes, pm me your email and model #.
