That rod is called a "pitman". Billy may have one.
Is it a metal or wood pitman that is supposed to be on the machine

Sorry I didn't get to this sooner, got sidetracked...majorly...by a visit to PA with family and to pick up three...3..sewing machines, two of them treadle and a singer 99k. Attached is the treadle base that I had before that is missing pitman.
