Well someone is thinking ( or at least trying to ) at New Holland. I just received my new loader rod support. It appears to be a bit different than the original. The most obvious change is the riser piece that is drilled for the handle is now a piece of round tube cut lengthwise instead of being a piece of flat stock with a bit of bend to it. This allows for a lot more meat on either side of the screw hole and the added strength of the circular shape. The weld quality looks much better also. They must have a new supplier.
On the old one, there was about 0.25" of metal from the edge of the screw hole to the edge of the bent riser. The new one has at least twice that.
I think I will skip the extra welding work and try this one. If it goes, I'm out $ 27.00 for a new one, but I think this one is up to the task.
