just got a mid 70's ford 4500 backhoe. the bottom saddle [ i beleive its called a saddle] is broke, it was broke when i bought it. where can i buy a new one? do they make them? or do i have to have a machine shop make one. i have all the welding capabilities [ own a weld shop] but this thing is at least 1 inch thick block of steel. when you use the backhoe the bottom pops out of the saddle, any help would be appreciated. thank you for your time
