Good morning I am having the most difficult time trying to find a clutch linkage (linkage on the release bearing shaft) for a 1988 Ford F-700 (6.6L Turbo diesel) Ford can not look anything up before 1990 and salvage yards are no help without a part number. Does anyone know what the part number is here or know where you can find obsolete Heavy equip. Ford Parts?

No, I appreciate you looking into it, but sadly I checked Rock Auto already as well and they only had the fork. I need the linkage for a pull type clutch. Its the linkage on the release bearing shaft.

Thank you as well, I checked their website and they only have a hood and fender for that year and model. I did send them a message just in case to see if they might come across something. Thanks again guys for the advice I really appreciate it.
You're welcome, what happened to the old one did it break or wear out? I bet you could weld something up or find a welder that could fabricate one.

Yes it broke. I am working on it for a customer, but we were both hoping to just find a replacement if possible. It's starting to look like welding it is my only option.

Looks like they bubble gum welded it. Yeah the number is on that lever and it's not a Ford number, I have same transmission just the FS6206A version You need to get a hold of Eaton for the replacement. I had to fabricate one of those with a Spicer transmission lever to get mine to work when I switched transmissions.
