Yeah, here in my part of the country, we always called them bell housings. But like the old John Deere 2 cylinders, the parts manuals from the factory use different terms for things that the everyday person would not use.
Another thing, they used terms 50, 60, 70 years ago, that are not used much today.
Bet they didn't have a flash drive, android, or a touchpad back then either.
