I broke the corresponding part in a 190D, a very similar assembly but a bit smaller. It was a clean fatigue break at the neck of the pivot up top. The head of pivot moved stiffly on the bushing, not bound, but it explained the fatigue break. Every time (hundreds a day?) the pedal cycles, that neck was stressed because is was hard to turn on the pivot. When replacing it, I'd be sure that the replacement offered little resistance to turning on the pivot. If you have to ream something or polish a shaft down w/ emery tape, I'd do it.
