After much delay and procrastinating, plus a failed attempt at getting a professional machinist to replace the pin, I tackled the job myself.  It took about half an hour of work, where I ground the existing pin smooth so I could hit the stub with a center punch.  After that, I set it up in my drill press and progressively increased the drill bit size until I could insert the pin.  As it stands, the current friction fit is tight.  

Does this look OK?  The pin stands slightly proud from the backside.  I haven't test fit everything yet with the worm gear, et al.

Gary, nice job, and you should have clearance on the back side, no problem. Also it doesn't matter how tight the pin fits,it cannot come out and even a loose siding fit will work.
Glad you did it yourself, so much more rewarding!

Thanks.  I did a test fit and the backside of the steering shaft hits the cover.  Seems whoever touched the box before I did ground the backside to clear.  I'll have to grind down the other side, where the pin makes contact.  At least I have something for reference.

My next challenge is to find some replacement bearings and then make a gasket for the cover.
