Thanks millions for taking the time out to look for that gear for me though.
In fact, I'm VERY grateful for everyone digging through their stock of parts and things to see what was available. At least I now have an idea of the condition of these parts I should expect. I'm beginning to realize that mine are actually in relatively good shape. Everything anyone has found is worse.
I thought about in this AM and really, the pitting on this gear is only going to effect 3rd gear. The gear whine in 3rd is going to be really loud anyway.
Now that I have a grip on what's actually available, I'm planning on replacing the bearings, input shaft, counter shaft pin along with the reverse idler pin & bushing. Cross my fingers and call it good.
