Decided to go with Jon's and Double07's recommendations to upgrade the hydro sync link.
Used the 147's (donor parts tractor) hydro control rod and substituted the clevis from the brake/neutral rod for one end. Added some additional 5/16 rod in the middle (to preserve the LH/RH threads already on the donor rod) and reinstalled the new rod.
Working on the carb today. (taking a break for some lunch right now).
I'm anxious to get this build outside so I can wash some of the grime from the forward hydro, frame and engine. I should have done that before I brought it into the shop.
