If the rod Brian is looking for is indeed the lower lockout rod # 5497 I can help if needed. I understood his posting to be for the upper rod to the column # 2889. I currently don't have any spare uppers so hopefully it's the lower that's needed. I have a supply of reproduction lower rods with the correct forged ends and part # and MW manufacturer stamp as seen at the bottom of the last photo or a limited supply of used originals.(the one on the top in the bottom photo)
