Jeff, if you are interested I will take measurements and pictures of the original bushing and send them to you. I am a mechanical engineer and I work in our company's metrology department. I know how to do reverse engineering. Because we make everything here out of titanium and aluminum around here I am not as well versed in other materials so i wasn't sure what to make the bushing out of.

My brother had the 1000 for a few years before I got it back. He ran it with a locked up T/O bearing for who knows how long. Mercifully the rod from the rockshaft to the throwout lever broke and he stopped using it. I threw it together with spare parts I had laying around but it was never right. The hanger bracket and pin show a lot of wear. Now I am fixing it right. I hope I get another 40 years of service out of it.


Get me measurements and what holes in the driveshaft. Gear drive driveshafts get five holes ( four for creeper length ) so if you want any deleted, let me know.
