comet clutch

I have 3 1985 vmax and i went to pull off the clutch on 2 of them and found 1 takes a 9/16 x 18 puller and the other takes 5/8 x 18 puller so am i right by thinking 1 is a 94c and the other is a 108? Witch one came stock on the sled when new? Witch one would be the one to use?

1985 vmax secondary clutch free floating ?

I just bought a 85 vmax I was told the owner use to race the sled (does show 1200 miles). I just started to go throught the sled and found that the secondary clutch is set up to free float on the shaft. Is this something that was done for racing if so can this set up be used for vintage trail rides?...
