Find yourself a little "Mom and Pop" body shop, take the trans (out of the tractor) to the shop a little before closing time... One of the younger fellows there would be more than happy to weld the corners for you, probably for a six pack of their favorite beverage.
Less than 15 seconds of actual weld time is about all it will take. Take it back home and file the corners square again and you should be good to go.
Yes, as long as you are already there, replace the springs and ends. Keep in mind that the outer spring will not make contact with the ends unless you're actually moving the F/R lever.
Follow instructions in the manual to make your adjustments.
If this is your first one, take your time and adjust it right, it can be a little time consuming but the results will be well worth your efforts.
