Replaced it with a 8x5 from Compass in Dargaville. Not cheap but I was in the lucky position of being able to make it a work expense which helped.

I was wondering why they recalled them and didn't just reinforce the attachment of the drawbar to the frame - the rest of the thing was pretty much standard for the type?
