The original "ball and chain" tilt assembly is very flimsy and not very good. It is suggested to replace it with a Williams # A-15361 Tilt Assembly for much better operation since it uses standardized parts.
You can also use these Marco Specialties parts along with two 6-32 wing nuts to make a complete tilt assembly:
(1) # 04-10346 and (1) # 20-6502-A
