I'd be more worried about the fact that it has grooves worn in it where it goes in the spigot bush. Maybe a former bush has broken up and been scraping on it. Clean it up, put it back together with a new bush and hopefully it'll be OK though.

It’ll get a new bush. Any likely long term issues?

I've removed the bellhousing as that has to go off to be 3D scanned as part of another project, I got as far as getting strapped onto a pallet and moved to my lock and store room ready for the day I send it away for a rebuild, but for now it's keeping my rear seats for the Discovery company along with a load of other stuff LOL
Hope you've not forgotten my open invitation North of the border lol

How is the rod attached to the clutch fork? Going to change the rod as its pitted and a bit rusty. Do I have to take the whole clutch fork off? Also how can you tell if its a HD fork?

The rod is held on with a little clip.
An HD fork has an extra piece of metal welded across the back of the pivot point.

Best explained with the aid of a picture, so click on this LINKY
Roll your mouse over the image. The black plastic thing, with the hole in the middle, at the bottom of the picture, is the push rod clip. Look carefully and you can see two little plastic pegs sticking out of it. Now look at the narrow end of the clutch fork. You can see the hollow that the ball of the push rod sits in and to the right of that you might just be able to make out a dark, narrow slot. The two plastic pegs of the push rod clip slot in to there and this enables the clip to hold the push rod in to that hollow.

I .wondering if your getting mixed up? The plastic clip holding the pushrod on is easy to see and remove. The clutch arm it's self needs a firm pull to release it from the pivot ball.

That makes sense. Thanks. Is the bit of metal you mentioned on HD fork bit you can see in that photo?

Yes, the rectangular bit across the middle, welded along the ends.

Putting on a new exhaust manifold as mines rust and will look a bit **** with the new engine. Was thinking of painting it to prevent rust, anyone recommend a high temp primer and top coat that would do the job?

Is that what you’ve done? How does one get something ceramic coated?

No, I didn't. Sorry, I thought you'd realise that and so I was trying to be funny. Failed
High performance manifolds can be ceramic coated I think. This creates a faster, more efficient, flow of exhaust gases. Not needed for Trattors. Not sure how many paints are available that withstand the temperatures, heating/cooling etc

Oh haha, shows how much I know! Fair point, thought maybe wrapping it in turbo/exhaust wrap. Just something to stop it rusting. Although maybe thats not sensible, overheat the manifold?

What sort of temp does your exhaust manifold get yup to?
