Just bought a CIncinnati Toolmaster 1D my first Mill lots of questions

Hey guys I have been using the mill and loving it. But I have a broken part. The draw bar lock fork has cracked. It appears to be shop made at some point. I’m guessing a part like this will be pretty hard to find. So thinking of trying to make myself a new one. My question is what kind of steel should I make it out if?

Try 1045, a half inch thick. Or half hard 4140, ditto.
 
Greetings

I am helping a friend repair a mill like this one and he is missing the spindle break assembly. I would like to kindly ask if any one of you guys can post a picture of that area? thanks.

This is the "poor" condition his machine is

caotropheus,
I glad you are making the effort on this girl!
I sure like my 1D. Wish I could find parts. Or a parts machine.
My spindle down feed is failing. Arrgh.

Upside on yours is that the spindle brake is not an essential part for safe and effective use of the mill.
Anyway here are some free links which you might find helpful. Especially the parts manual.

Let me know if you need more data.
