>Another question....the unit I got had been sitting in the bone yard for
several years and was badly rusted. When I tried to remove the cap that
covers the shift lever, I broke the neck of the transmission cover right
off.
Can I retap the holes for the lockout switches (the bosses are cast in)and
swap covers with my existing non OD later tranny? Should I try to weld it?

Drill and tap the new one.  I did that when I converted my transmission. 
trying to reweld something that was precision machined will be near
impossible.

Hint: the switches have a metric thread.
