[AT] Ford 3000 SOS input TLC and shaft

[k7jdj at aol.com]

Good pictures.  Since this seems to be a known failure point is there an improved replacement?  I have had similar issues on John Deere shafts on hydraulic pumps and the transmission input shaft on my JD 350 crawler.  The JD 350 problem is a $1200 plus part!  The failure on your part is different than what I see on the JD stuff.  

The JD failures tend to be excessive wear and twisting of the shaft  I always put the coupling and shafts together with heavy wheel bearing grease but not sure it does any good.

I split the '65 Ford 3000 today and found what everyone told me I would 
find. The splines on the input shaft and the clutch disk are stripped 
out. So I need to order a shaft and clutch. Are there any other parts 
needed? I plan to tip the rear end up or remove the transmission so the 
shaft is straight up when I remove it. Are there any other considerations?
