safety bar

have a 542b, safety bar wont stay up. does anybody have an illustration of how the pivot parts go together. thanks , also the back side of the bar is worn flat, thought maybe i needed to build it round so the piece rubbing it would go over center.

Bobcat made an upgrade kit for the early production style saftey bars , it consist of a heavy spring and some hardware and was very easy to install , forgot how much they cost
