JWB: I doubt if you need to make it longer, they don't wear on the bottom. I've rebuilt 7-10 of these going back to the late 60. Shape it so it just neatly fits into one of the notches of the shifter rails. Start with in full size of one of those notches and grind until it shifts smoothly. When new that end of shift lever was a perfect rectangle with very slightly rounded corners. If you make it much longer it will rub on bottom and be hard to shift anywhere. I've been around these old Farmalls close to 50 years, never seen a shift lever rounded on the bottom end yet. Look at the wear, not hard to see where it's worn.
