The sidetrack of the window has a broken fitting in the mechanical fitting, making it difficult to used.

I have attached the original paper work fior the 4000 series of American Craftsman windows and a photo of the broken fitting.

Thanks for posting. I am afraid we did not receive the documents described, however this likely wouldn't be of much help anyway, as codes often can't be cross-referenced to hardware. We need photos of what you're looking for and a description of what it does. We'll see what we can do from there.

Please refer to this pohoto attached. The hardware on the right window track has a broken plastic fitting at the bottom of the metal slide. If you cannot enlarge this pic I will have to get in closer for more detgail. The broken piece is in the direct center of the photo.Thanks for your help on this.

Thanks for your patience. Looks like you need a new pivot shoe. That's what we call that block piece the spiral balance attaches to and from which the window pivots. This might be a lot of different pivot shoes. What we ask is for you to remove the shoe (preferably an undamaged one) and measure the width and thickness and provide a closer photo. That should help us narrow down what you need.
