imo everything is almost identical in the high mounts, bugger all has changed over 30 or so years from when i was tracking parts for my 8274, which makes servicing any high mount a piece of piss :D

Those I have seen had a keyway in the gear and motor shaft. I can't remember for sure what stopped the gear from sliding off - may have been a circlip, or a spring pin.

A normal motor will fit with the splined gear. But you need something to keep the gear in mesh and not slide to the free spool position.
