If you can't find it, I'd go the other way. Find any throwout bearing larger
than your shaft. bush the shaft and modify the yolk. Just another way to
skin the cat.

The tractor salvage yards around here are full of ford majors. I suspect
finding parts is the reason. If he's not putting a ton of hours on it, buy
the part from the slavage yard.

Thanks Karl. I'll show him the series of posts on Monday and he can
pursue some of those leads.
