It's a two piece but has the pawls for a RH start so maybe they were using up some old stock?
Sort of wished I had filled the holes bit too late now.
The saw looks hardly used but when I opened it up the ring locators had disappeared. Some dents on squish band but damage minimal. Have put in new ones and have new rings.

I have a 10-10 where the rings grenaded. There are still fragments that are firmly wedged into the squish band.

NZ - On the PTO side I push both the bearing and the seal all the way through, then press the new parts in from each side. I have never even though about trying to install the seal with the insert installed in the crankcase. In order to get the seal over the shoulder on the shaft I have the tapered sleeve.

On the flywheel side, I just use a large socket with an O.D. that nearly matches the O.D of the seal and press them in till the surface is flush.

Someone has replaced the clutch that was on the saw originally with one from a RH start saw. I think it is unlikely that would have been done at the factory.
