1959 Johnson bellcrank/shift rod problem

[sevenbak]

Hi all, I am really new to this, and could use some help. I have acquired this motor, but the bolt that holds the shiftrod to the bellcrank is missing. How can I access this to fix it, I assume I have to remove the entire top portion of the motor? Any advice would be helpful. I did get a manual at the library, but it was the wrong year, are there pdf's abvailible anywhere?

Thanks for any and all help.

I should mention it's a 35 hp.

Yes, you have to remove the powerhead. It isn't as hard as it looks.
