I had the same problem when I restored my 49. I took the shaft to a machine shop and they cut the keyways for both ends of the shaft to the next size larger. They also cleaned the gear and ptman arm keyway sa well. Went from half a turn freeplay to an eighth of a turn freeplay and took about an hour. I also did a complete rebuild of the gearbox to include seals, bearings and bushings. Word of caution, getting the old bushings out can be a pain. Just take your time. I used an old socket as a driver to drive them out. I made a bushing press bu using threaded rod and a series of washers to pull the bushing in place. It does help to freeze the bushing first. Hope this helps some.
