I would be Jerry as long as you understand the process of taking them
apart is to drill out some press fit pins that Ross uses to hold it
together. At least it looks that way to me. Perhaps Art Luther could enlighten
us on that subject.  There are some unknowns involved in that process. I
would rather have a known junk Ross drive to work with.

Paul,  If the disassembly process causes real damage, then I will not
do it. However, seems hard to believe that they cannot be torn down.
I would like to contact Dave Atkins about his modifications.  Could
you give me his email or web site?   Jerry

After thinking about it for awhile and looking at all the pictures and 
drawings I have I think it can be modified with out taking out the prop shaft.
As I recall Ross tack welded in some pins that hold the prop flange
to the output shaft. This means  the pins need to be drilled out. The 
good news is the thrust bearing and oiling system can be added with 
out taking the flange off. In other words the prop shaft can stay in the unit.
