Final update-
I got the shaft machined and the spacer washer installed. The mainshaft went together well and I ended up with .004 endplay which is great. I installed replacement roller bearings as well since a couple of the old ones were sketchy. The cluster gear with the new thrust washers went in quite well and ended up within spec on endplay ()
Thanks for everyone’s suggestions and comments to help me with my first dive into the top loader 3 speed.
