Motor is 1968. Seal kit is Quick silver 26-820645A-1. Kit does not come with a gasket between lower unit halves. That one is merc number F435555 and can be made from gasket paper and non hardening permatex. Sorry cant help with the brass bushings.

Those are sintered bronze bushings and are undoubtably standard sizes. Look up bearing supplies in your local phone book. Take them to the bearing supply store and they will probably be able to replace them.

Be aware that they are pressed into the gear. When you do this, the internal diameter decreases slightly and they will be tight on the shaft. You need to very slightly loosen them with emery until the shaft runs freely.
