I have a question regarding a Sears Free Spirit I picked up at a garage sale. I got it and another bike for $5.

It has a Shimano 3CC hub.

It's missing it's shifter cable. But the bike is in overall good shape and rideable, although you can't shift. I haven't given it a whole lot of thought.

But now since I have a shifter and cable on its way to me, I started looking more closely at the bike and I realized that the shifting bell and cog are on opposite sides of the hub.

That isn't right is it?

I can't seem to find a diagram of the 3CC, but every other 3-speed hub I've seen the cog and bell are on the same side.
