Neighbor called me Sat evening asking what I knew about a Ford C6 transmission. Unfortunately my answer was not alot. That said, my naming of the parts might not be perfect but I'm basing the names on what I have been able to find myself.
Anyway, what had happened was he removed the vacuum modulator diaphram from the rear of the transmission to test it and wound up droping/losing the push rod that went between it and the actual modulator valve spool. He had looked online and found nothing relative to the rod itself, only refferences to the diaphram (((((there were a couple of choices but his has a green stripe)))) and the valve spool itself. I've been looking myself and have been having about the same luck.
Anyway, the truck is currently his only ride so he was desperite to get it drivable. So, I looked in a few of my books with transmission breakdowns, and it looked to me like when everything was are rest the rod fit tight between the diaphram and the end of the valve spool itself. Still, beyond the pics there was never any mention made of the actual push rod or any specs given for it anywere. Given that I took a few measurments and made him a rod out of a piece of 1/8 8018 TIG rod that was as close as I could get to 1 21/32 long. I test drove it after we put it in and it seemed to shift and work properly so if I was off on the length it couldn't be much.
Granted it's drivable now, but ultimately, my question is this. Does anyone have any idea where I can get the dimensions for the little pushrod, or better yet where a new one can be obtained? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Wayne

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
