There's only one version of that clutch shaft with the setscrew stop adjustment. I had one of those welded a couple months back and the professional, trained welder that did the work told me that the arm was cast steel, and it welded easily and well for him. His work looked very, very nice. Based on that input, and that of others here, I'll tell you that the arm is cast steel. [Reply]  [No Email]

The picutre Ultradog posted is of a 6-speed, non-live PTO model. [Reply]  [No Email]

I'm curious... Did you remember my junk or were you able to tell from the pic? If so tell why please. The photo below is a 3600 with lpto. You can see the arm/bell crank is different. Both however are welded onto the shaft. Kermit, can you post a photo of it? If the arm was welded onto the shaft then it surely can be rewelded if broken. Check Break offered good advice too below. Make one. [Reply]  [No Email]

(should try to talk my uncle into buying it... good trade up from his 8N) One of the 3000's I had used the arm with the setscrew, can't remember about the other one. The arm on my 4600's clutch (independant PTO)is similar, but not identical to these... and is cast steel. [Reply]  [No Email]

This is a 1965 3000, 8 sp trans with LPTO. On your pic. you see the protrusion in front of the clutch lever that serves as a stop. The lever has an adjustment screw that is adjustable screw so you can adjust the clutch pedal travel at the up end. If you have access to a Ford or I.T. manual you can see the clutch arm with the stop screw. We welded it this evening with a cast iron rod and also added a re-enforcement to. Hope it holds.
