Diana: You've got me stumped. To start with I'm not sure the Utility is same as the Farmall. It has been a few years so I wouldn't even have length for the Farmall. The Farmall shift lever had a base that bolted to top of transmission with three bolts. You removed that base with shift lever, and by putting a straight edge across you could get measurment to bottom of shifting rail notch. I'm not sure the Utility has that 3 bolt base. If it does that makes it easy, you just put the bolts in but not tight, hold the base down with your hand and do the shifting. When you can go through the shifts smoothly without that base jumping then it should be safe to bolt down.

If you have it a bit too long it wont move freely from one rail to the next. It's kind of a trial and error type thing. as I said before build it a bit oversize both thickness and length, then grind to make it right. It is a good idea to try it several times as you do the grinding. It will spoil 2 or 3 hours on you.

I hope I have made this clear, if you have question don't hesitate to ask.
