Manual casement window track shoe

Question

Looking to fix Casement window. It's a very old window, possibly 30s or 40s, it opens inward manually. It works with a "shoe" installed in the corner that runs on a track. In the photos I tried to show you in pointing to the shoe that attaches to the corner of the window. I'm looking to replace one of those shoes that has broken off.  If needed I could replace the track, arm and shoe so that it all fits.  Thanks!

I've never seen a setup like this, but it's pretty interesting. Despite it being a very old window, I'm wondering if a casement hinge set like our 36-048 is similar in design to the hinges in your pictures. I am afraid the track slider isn't sold separately from these hinge sets; but if the dimensions align with the old hinges on your window, you could try replacing them with this new set. I can make no guarantees this would work, given the age and unique design of your window, but it might be the best option we have. Take a look and see what you think.
