Gear shift lever?
Top end of shift lever is stripped/rusted away. What should be here? I will need to weld up and restore. Wondering what original condition was? I would guess 5/16” fine female thread?

Re: Gear shift lever?
I think what you are seeing is what's left of the shifter knob, just heat it up and it should unscrew.
3/8-24 male thread is what should be there.

The Snyder's link is https://www.snydersantiqueauto.com/Prod ... hByKeyword for the four-speed. And yes threads are 3/8-24 (not 5/16-24 - for three-speed transmission).

This knob recat as a BB part in the V8 era was also used on some of the 8N Ford tractors circa 1950 and is available from Steiner tractor at a lower price. I haven't viewed the Steiner example for authenticity.
