Can you tell what type it is by the description of each in that
article?

sounds to me like its a cottered hub...which is really weird. but I've
actually never seen a cottered hub with my own eyes, so I wouldn't
exactly know. do a google search for sheldon brown, or maybe its just
sheldonbrown.com or .net or something, anyway, he has a ton of info
about all parts of a bike. you should find somethin there.

the cranks is plastic

So why can't you just slide the crank back on to the taper?

Pretty sure you meant to say 1/4 (one quarter) turn here. I can just
see someone straining to throw in 14 (fourteen) turns;)

well, if his initial posts were more clear he mighta been helped sooner.
plus the early responders did correctly inform him of it being a square
taper.

to screw when the screwwy bit gets to the crank and i cant turn it
