I recently came across a Warford overdrive and plan to install on my 1929 Express. It is missing the shift lever. Looking for an original so I don't have to have one made.

I have one you could copy. I can send pics and dimensions.

I need those same measurements so I can make a shift lever, too. I have the Warford, but no shift lever.

Same for me. I have a Warford, but no shift lever.

I will post pictures and measurements this weekend

I have one in The San Fernando Valley if you are close enough to come examine it.

You may as well post the pix and dimensions. Then we all can use them. Thanks...

perfect!!! You must have been a tool and die man.

No - but I was a machinist mate in the US Navy. Let me know if you need anything else.

awesome measurements! doesnt look like a super complicated part to make something at least useable.

Outstanding piece of work to show us all how to build a Warford shift lever. Go NAVY.

whats the shaft diameter and keyway diameter? looks familiar like the levers on a modern tow truck winch....

The shaft diameters is in the pictures. It starts out one size and tappers down. I believe I provided both ends and center. As far as key width - your Warford shaftshould be cut for a key - the handle key is same width. Handle is 3/4 inch on large end, 9/16 inch at bend and 7/16 inch at location of shift ball.

whoops I wasnt clear - I meant the shaft diameter off the gearbox itself that the handle clamps to - not the handle diameters i dont have a warford myself so nothing to measure here but it looks familiar...
