farmall 400 sloppy clutch pedal

There are older threads, but same problem. Even has the rod welded to keep the pedal inboard! I'm new to the forum, and just acquired a 400 in pretty good shape. I have the IT shop manual, and am ready to take this on. Instructions and illustrations are sort of lacking.
- anything difficult about shaft removal and re-install? Alignment of stuff I can't see? I have tools and access to an excellent farm country machine shop. It sounds like once the shaft is out, I would be best off to build up the worn area and re-bush it. Then seal it again. And be prepared for oil to come out when pulling the shaft.

What am I missing?
Thanks!

Another option is to sleeve over the shaft with a thin steel tube or shim long enough to extend to the shaft end and be retained by the washer/pin. then bush the pedal to that OD. Be sure to drill for the grease fitting. Jim

Why put a grease zerk in there when nobody use's it enough, put in a thin roller bearing.

I like the idea, but it still needs lube. A sealed needle bearing might be OK. The side twist on the joint is best served by a bushing with a grease point. Every owner would grease it after they got done expending the effort to repair the original mediocre solution. I remember putting lube on our H shaft. Jim
 
Remove the old shaft, buy a new length of cold rolled steel to match.
Take both shafts to a machine shop and have them cut new grooves for the half-moon keys to match the old shaft.
Have had that done many times.
Simple & inexpensive.
You may want the machine shop to re-bush the clutch pedal and brake pedals at the same time.
