Is this a 3 or 4 speed transmission? If it is a 4 speed, is it a top loading/shifting transmission, or sideshifting transmission?

The reason I ask these questions is there are two 4 speeds that look a lot alike, the sm420 and the sm465. The sm465 has a larger bearing retainer as discussed. It would measure 5.125 inches in diameter.

It's a 3 Speed. Just as an update. I like doing things with local businesses. So the guy who rebuilt is on vacation (he's retired?, and I thought vacations were practice retirements), he's coming to my house on Thursday to look at everything and make an assessment.
