Lift latch

[acalkins1957]

I have done quite a bit of searching and can't find a lift latch for sale. Does anybody know where to find one? Mine is cracked and I'm not sure if a repair would hold. I might try the plastic weld with the staples, but I'd much rather have an unbroken one. Case DB 996.

I can't say it's a nice price at $128, but they do have it.

I appreciate it but I just tried to order a $2 o ring from Messick's and they wanted $59 shipping.

I went ahead and fixed mine. Did some plastic welding and it works fine. Welded, sanded, and painted. The cracked area is about twice as thick as before. Should, with any luck, out live me.

BTW, where in Wisconsin? I'm originally from the LaCrosse area.
