580c parking brake lever

Parking brake lever D75370 is broken and discontinued. Does anyone know if there is a newer part that can be used instead? I see some for sale for newer models that look similar but don’t know if they are the same because the part number is different.
Or if anyone knows where I can get one.
Any help would be appreciated.

The bucket and/or outriggers are a far better and safer parking brake, even a cinder block tossed behind a rear wheel will hold better.

I have been using the front bucket. But I have the brakes all taken apart to rebuild them so I might as well fix that also if I can.

If you need the entire assembly, give Dale Weiss a call, http://e-backhoeparts.com/

It's really just a cable that gets pulled, so it probably wouldn't be super difficult to fabricate up something or possibly make some other type of lever work in place there.

Just looked a a new one I happen to have , the rivet that holds the handle usually goes . I drilled it out and replaced it with a shoulder bolt . If you have trouble finding a new one I'll send you a pic. of the one I have and you can have it for $50 plus shipping if it's the right one.
