That copper bushing has three steps. I have the 1” locking collar on the second step the 1” collar is just not big enough to fit over the third biggest step.
I’ll take this whole bushing to tractor supply and before I buy anything will just grab a 1 1/4 locking collar off the clearance rack. If it fits the third bigger step I’m in business.
I need to take up the space between the 1” collar and the steel plate.

Bolted the aluminum plate back to the steel plate and got a bit that just fit the ID of the copper bushing and drilled my hole for the output shaft.
With everything bolted together and the output shaft just sticking out of the case everything spins free as it should.
Now to buy one bearing and two locking collars to finish the job. You can see there is plenty of the output sticking out past the case for a bearing to support.
Edit: pulling the top shifter off and looking down through with all the internals assembled the gear lash is spot on!

I’m not a welder but I weld… A bigger locking collar is to thick and not gonna wrap around the bushing it’s just not the way.
No matter I welded bolts to the collar and welded the bolt heads to the plate. I’ll go back and clean it up with a grinder and paint the whole plate silver down the way…
One 17mm bearing with 35mm OD ordered and one locking collar with 35mm ID ordered. Easy work finishing this whole plate up.

I used a hand file. Edit: I know now what you mean and a chisel and big hammer to punch down through the remaining “pillars“ IT WAS A CAST IRON PLATE… I dropped it.
I’m not gonna be able to hand file steel as easy so add a rotory tool to the list…
Find a piece of real steel plate. Stick to the plan..
Just imagining myself in a factory in Japan in 1940 I just dropped the molds for the sidecase just run at that point.

My grandfather was 90 or 91 and could fix ANYTHING.. Same with my father and I grew up in the swamp with their tools and help.
They hated ANYTHING that was basically newer or unserviceable. So if something broke it was usually mechanical and with them around it was easily explained and often not really that hard to fix with no money. They had money they were just cheap and that was also very very good.
My uncle Glenn was in a wheelchair but basically ran the local montgomerys hardware and mechanical entirely by himself at points.

We all get tired cranky and inevitably lazy…
I CANNOT BREAK the aluminum plate under ANY CIRCUMSTANCE. I do not even feel comfortable trying to tap out this bushing.
That means I cannot lay the aluminum plate flat against the steel plate and just clamp them together.
To make matters worse the bushing was not flat. I’ve taken a file and flattened the bushing surface to the best it’s getting.
Now to lay the aluminum plate on the steel plate with some spacers and do this right the third time. Don’t ask me how it worked so well the first time don’t know.
