Is this a common issue w/5 sp shifter? Woodruff keyway
wallowed out in top of shifter shaft. I can"t figure how to get it
out of transmission w/out complete dissasembly. For 2 cents
I"d weld the shift lever to the shaft and let the next owner worry
about it!!!

Only after it reaches 60 years old... Trans will have to come apart  That equals more worn parts to replace that you do not want to here about...

Was going to replace perfectly good 4 spd to get the granny
gear of the 5 spd. In your opinion, would it be worth it for bush
hoggin, discing and plowing with a 600?

The lower first gear of the 5 speed is helpful for certain tasks but not slow enough for a roto-tiller.
More importantly, if the 5 speed is from a x6x tractor, and you swap in all of the associated parts you will gain live PTO.

My 5 speed was frozen. Got it freed up with 50-50 atf and acetone mixed in oil can so I could apply directly to rust spots. Drained old oil, put in 8 quarts diesel, magnet in the drain plug, drove around ranch for a bit to warm it up. Drained diesel and found woodruff key on magnet. Refiled with 80-90 gear oil.

I'm not familiar with that tranny, but I second your opinion if you are serious and it can work, weld it and keep using it. Had a similar issue with a shift fork on a 2120 Ford tractor. I covered what I could with wet rags and welded the shift fork inside the tranny. That was 12 years ago and it is still working fine. It would have been a double split to replace it, didn t seem worth the hassle. Weld can be ground if it needs to come apart later.
