[Farmall] International A shifting lever problems

[ebony51 at frontiernet.net]

Mike, John, Jim, and Barney,  I talked with a parts fellow at Case-IH (he used to be a mechanic) today, and he talked about a sort of ball at the end of the shift selector.  He said is was more oval with it being flat on both sides.  The idea is the lever could go side to side through the runners like in neutral but could completely have to clear a runner  before shifting a gear.  Ummmm...my shifting lever is just a flat sort of "V" at the end.  Not the end of the "V" is not completely flat.  Did they make different types?

Thanks

Larry

I don't have the answer, but when I had a similar problem on my 
tractors, I just welded some material on the end and than ground it down 
until it fit nicely and worked well. I know that is a crude method, but 
it seems to work for me.
