Hi,
I need to replace a pivot shoe for an old American Craftsman Series 4000 double-hung window that was purchased at Home Depot.
I've removed the shoe but, with only a tape measure, am having a difficult time determining the correct size. It looks like its 1/2" thick but may be 9/16". Also, I didn't know if the height measurement included the semi-circle protrusion at the bottom or it was just corner to corner. Corner to corner it looks like it's 2". Width looks like 1 3/16" but you only have 1 1/4" so it must be that, right?
I just want to make sure I order the correct shoe(s) and was curious to know if there is any way to confirm this from the photos and information provided.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks!
Howard

Hi Casey,
Thank you very much for getting back with me. I thought it was the 15-046 but wasn't sure. It looks like the image from the other discussion is similar but different as it doesn't have the top metal piece that my shoe has.
I see that the most important measurements though are the depth and width.
Thanks again for the help.

The metal piece is there to support the spiral balance tip, which the 15-046 has. Also, you are correct that the width and thickness are vital when choosing a replacement pivot bar.
