you need these parts, but from the looks, that hub is going to need some oil, and the little chain stickking out of the hub may need replaced to if its too worse for wear, the chain gets pulled in and out of the axle and that shifts the hub internally.

the shifter cable your missing threads on to the chain and pulls it when the shifter is moved.
 
I have not done mine yet, but I was going to hook up a ratcheting type 5-10 speed lever on one, Has anyone tried that, any problems I am overlooking, Rick
 
I've heard the guys on the Schwinn forum suggest motor oil for SA hubs.

Sounds like you need to buy the missing parts off of Ebay....which will probably cost you more than the bike is worth.

Maybe someone here can help a brotha out. :mrgreen:
