3 Speed Remote Shift Levers
I think I know the answer to this question but, I decided to ask anyway.
I am working on rebuilding my 3 speed and wanted to remove the shift levers. I removed the pins (brad rivets) and then noticed that the ends appear to have been welded to the shaft. For the life of me I can not understand why someone would have done this. The pins were tight and the arm had little to no play.
Any ideas??

So far, this is the only really weird thing I have found. Based on the age and the life the truck lived I guess that is not bad.

At first I thought they were cap ends and once the pins were removed they would slide off. But, then I found the picture you show in the Parts CD and realized they were welded on. Like I said, not sure why they did it, but they did a great job with the weld. Will grind them off and see what I have as I need to change the seals.
