Same happened to me on my Mt180D.
After looking at all alternatives I ended up buying a set on EBay that worked out A-OK.

Mine were metric, I tried to make a new barrel as I had one proper RH metric tap but the left thread tap cost more than a set on EBay.

I figure they are metric, with correct size you might look here. Turnbuckles 1480

Thank you for the suggestion fellas. Never thought to look on McMaster Carr.

Metric? So now you can only adjust your 3PT in 1/10ths? That's a no go right there! :poop:

I see nothing in that diagram on item 9 I would hesitate to fabricable together if I couldn't find one from the dealer. It's not really a load bearing component or critical to the function other than some sway control.

Speaking of fabricate, I ended up going to my local machine shop and they're getting something together for me. They will do a far better job of anything I can frankenstein together.
