Diana: I wouldn't put off rebuilding the end of that shift lever. You can break gears if you happen to get into two gears and let the clutch out. This will happen when going from 1st to 2nd, 3rd to 4th, etc. It does not come out of gear you are shifting from, plus goes into the one you are shifting to. I broke the gears up quite badly on my Farmall 300 shifting from 3rd to 4th. Replaced the gears and a couple of bearings, but never did get completely rid of a slight noise. I suspect there was a shaft sprung a bit. You have to build that end so it is close to being a rectangle as it was when new. The aprox. size is about 5/16 x 5/8 inch. It should nicely fill the notch in the shifting rail. I like to build the lever just a bit over size with weld and then grind it enough to give smooth shifting. It is almost a perfect rectangle with slightly rounded corners. The likely hood of you finding another shift lever in good shape is not great. 45 years ago we were rebuilding those on loader tractors every 5 years. Even the tractors that never had loaders will be worn by now. Most guys figure they are the first to have this problem, not so, I'll bet my dad had done a couple before I was 16.

Radiator cores clog up with rust, lime or other mineral deposits and the fins clog up with weed seeds and debris. The metal headers slowly corrode away from years of use and
