1925 Hudson transmission question

I have the transmission from my Coach on the bench.I have approx. 3/16"(.1875) end play on the main shaft.The service manual says .008" to.012".The manual also says to remove sufficient shims to take out all but .008" to .012" end play.Also, any suggestions about getting a key for the Yale lock.I have a local locksmith said he would look into it but doubtful.Any input is appreciated!
