Thanks, Mark, for those encouraging words about the heavier duty replacement part!catsco said:KentT -
It is a much thicker wall tube; my bent and cracked about 1-1/2 years ago, and I spent a lot of time and money having it welded, then ordered a new one when it got really bad.
The new one has been fine since then with much heavier work!
The downside is the price and high shipping cost to repair what I think is an inherent design flaw.
All told, with the new parts and welding, and the other repairs, I spent over $600 in a couple months.

I know that I'm consistently "pressing the design limits" on mine -- it's a weird combination of a lot of TLC combined with outright abuse!
