If it was like my '50, after 50 years of pulling stumps and hauling loads,
the yoke was twisted and would not slide back on the driveshaft (not even a
smidge). I found 3 used ones in the same condition. If so, it will require
dropping the rear axle (or moving the engine/trans forward) to get the
clearance needed to drop the torque tube.
Good luck.
