C-22 pitman arm drawing

As i'm continuing to learn, about my tractor, mower, and this site, i think i've learned that what is commonly referred to here as Rudi's server, i believe cleancomputers or something like that, is offline. i'm looking for a drawing for the pitman arm on my cub 22 sickle mower because i have time, and woodworking abilities and tools and would like to make one. I've found several posts from 2006, 8, 9, and 12 mentioning the drawing even with a link, but the link is broken. then i went down the rabbit hole of the old server, and how many gigs of data there are/was and moving things and recreating, but i am having zero luck locating a drawing for the pitman arm. I read where tractor supply used to sell them, they don't anymore at least mine doesn't and online search at tsc doesn't recognize the words or part numbers. i looked in the how to, implement section, and searched 6 ways till Sunday but i cannot find a drawing. what am i missing? someone always pops up and points me in the right direction. my grass board is done, i made that from scratch and am waiting for the stencil from my brother to paint McCormick on it, but it's a nice bright Caterpillar Yellow (funny to have yellow paint on the shelf now besides all the red and blue.) Anyway, i would be very grateful if someone could point me in the right direction for a drawing with the correct dimensions (i got a HOWL reading about how someone's pitman arm wasn't short on either end, but short in the middle!! HAHAHHAH!) Thanks in advance very much

Hi,
Below is a listing at TM Tractor for a new pitman. You can look at the pics.
Case IH might still sell them too. :)

The length for the wooden pitman i have recorded as 30 3/4 inches
The hole in the end for the spring I have is 3/4" dia at 1 5/8" deep
These numbers are ones I have noted on my phone.
I will grab the pitman i removed when I replaced mine and get more measurements if required.
I know the one I have for a pattern is not an original, but it was made with the original as a template.

I knew I had saved it just before Rudi's site crashed, but I couldn't remember where.

I probably can make a good 2D drawing to add to the pdf manual section here. How wide is the slit for the driving shaft plate and the gap between the holes? Hole diameters? I see the one that is 1.375 drilled parallel to the length is .75 but I don't know what the other holes are?

I never did measure the plate thickness,---always just guessed!---Hmmmm Might have to get ole caliper out and go measure it! --- I made a couple over the years, but I just guessed all the length/hole sizes/etc.-----they always worked!

hi T-Mo. I'm an autocad draftsman, i was going to do just that tomorrow morning... since i have everything but the pitman (i actually do, made a temporary one from pressure treated when my old one rotted and just kind of gave up the ghost) it's not the right length so i know things aren't timed properly, but with Rudi's drawing from barnyard i was going to draw it in the morning.

Drive end 1.5 “ spacing 5/16 hole in plate
Blade end 1 5/16” spacing 5/16 hole in clamp
plate thickness 3/32"
Measurements are of hardware not the pitman arm.
I am fairly certain they were 1/4 bolts used for fasteners.

I can get Dennis to load the drawing into the pdf manual section, but I would like to see if there are any comments that I may have to incorporate first.
