ok guys I pickup this vintage clutch away back and now I am going to use it on a 3hp Tecumseh for a unrestored bananza bc 1100 bike. at first I thought it was just a mercury clutch and after further inspection it's not. letters stamp on it say ALLSTATE.
looks just like a mercury from the front?
letters and stamping is just like a mercury too.
when you flip it around that's where it's little different on how it holds the shoes. the shoes and spring are the same. just that the allstate uses a full plate to hold them into position and the mercury uses theses little ears/clips hold the shoes in place.
either way I thought it would be interesting to post this clutch. has anybody seen one before? can't seem to find much info on it? I am wondering if this was a sears clutch,because of the name allstate on it? and mercury just made the part for them?
