2. Why does this not line up? It seems like the arm should contact in the center of the drive rather than off to one side. It doesn't look like anything is bent and it all works smoothly.

3. Are these Gears useable? The transmission got water in it at some point which caused the gears to rust. I was thinking about taking a wire wheel the them to try and clean them up, but since I have it all torn apart it do you think it would be better to replace them?

Take them apart, sand or bead blast them and put them back in service.
Yes like Mag said clean them up and replace the bearings if the gears are rusted up then the bearings will likely fail too. I know its allot of work but cheap insurance to get every thing cleaned up and replace the bearings. On the pinion not lining up, check the pinion assembly before installing the pony, check the pinion bearings.

Is that bushing above the spring in the flywheel housing??? I believe that holds the sliding shaft, if its out of the housing that might be why it dropped down.

"I also joined a year ago. had been on here a couple of times as a non-member and found the info very helpful so I got a one year subscription (not very expensive at all) to try it out. I really like all the resources on here so I just got a three year. I think its a very small price for what you can get out of this site."
