If I could find something that is the right size (.875") that I could get bent into a "U" shape, I could repair it, but I haven't been able to find anything. 3/4" copper pipe is the right size, but no one around here can bend it.

I repaired my ladder. It broke at the junction where the bottom u shaped piece is joined. Guess someone backed into it. I went to a metal shop and got a piece of thicker walled smaller diameter aluminum tubing and removed the lower steps and u piece and after trimming about 4 inches off the length of the ladder I inserted the tubing in and reassembled. Took a bit of drilling and screw replacement but did not have to replace the ladder.
