My theory on old antique motorcycles stands w/ tractors too. Our bolts fit that class.
Yes to all, where needed as needed.
Gooday

I had to pull mine back out because trans oil would leak out around the threads.

Just wondering about these nylon thrust washers I got in a rebuild kit for a 54 Muncie 3 spd and whether or not I can use steel (which a buddy who runs a tranny shop had). | | |

Chevr aulait - my kit didn't have any thrust washers in it. The only thrust washer I found in the tranny is steel and in perfect shape. My kit did come with a couple of round cork gaskets. I've got one figured out.
