Think this one over:

Ditch the swinging link tank circuit.  Build a symmetric, balanced Pi-L circuit for the two push-pull tubes.  Make the output Z 50 or 100 ohms.  Put a 2000 pF blocking cap between each tube and the balanced tank.  Match the caps on a bridge or DE-6000.

Now, run out to a balanced, low pass T.  That would be 4 inductors and one cap in shunt.

Set low pass T to match antenna.

Nice scheme: Tune up AM Tx into a balanced 50 or 100 ohm load.  Tune LP T match circuit for 50 or 100 ohms at input.  Off you go!

Lots of harmonic suppression here!
