No spring chicken, I was 75 last Monday, gal I'm dating will be 75 in January and we've know each other for 70 years! We met in kindergarten when we were 5.

If you have a Clark trans like the one in ND's post you don't need to take the shifter out of the housing. Just remove the transmission cover from the floor then remove the 4 bolts from the shifter housing and take the shifter and housing out together.

The cover/tunnel is welded to the floor. My floor is bad, but I'm hoping not to have to cut into it right now.

I dont understand which photos you mean. As far as I can tell, all the photos are still there. (Or are they just photobucket links for you?)

I got out a shop manual and that is the way Ford says to do it. A Sawzall may be in your future. Without digging thru the manuals, just looking at the parts page that ND posted I'm guessing that the shifter comes out the bottom of the housing.

I believe you are correct as every Clark I have ever dealt with 4 bolts to remove the whole shift tower. To get the cane out of the housing most just need the spring popped out of the retainer, the exception being the towers having a second shift 'finger'. Then the cane drops out from the bottom side.
