Personally, I'd go ahead and take the shaft assembly out and use it to align the clutch/pressure plate to the flywheel. You can put it back on afterwards. If you have access to spare parts or know someone with them you might borrow the shaft. On the farm we have a clutch alignment tool that we bought from NAPA Auto Parts many years ago. I don't recall there being any adapters for it to fit that M. LOL, another way that I have done 'em is with a bar or shaft and "eyeballed" them to align them. Not saying it is the best way to do it, but it did work. On the larger and newer IH's we used to put them on the shaft and slide the tractor together. Then, reaching through the starter mounting hole align the bolt holes and install and tighten them up. Didn't have to worry about taking a chance on bending the plates this way.
