Ok you've gave me more info than I've gotten in past 8 months, I truly appreciate you thank you
So, those are the patents for the Seneca Falls carriage, yours looks like it's seen better days, but it's really close to them. They really only go back together one way that will make sense.
I think there's a set on a well known site that rhymes with flea bay. Otherwise, shave them down a bit, they really only have to engage with the lead screw and not slip...

Not sure, everything was so nasty it's been soaking in cleaning solution of gasoline and kerosene in my parts washer, I've look at all my photos on phone but wad before started cleaning processDoes your broken part have 181 cast on it?
look for the Seneca Falls catalog #27. At the end it's got part lists with pics. The broken part is called a cross feed tumbler by them, there's one for sale, it's the newer version with a block to keep it from engaging the half nut while feeding. There's a good chance it should fit.
Oh, and a lazy way to check the half nut- squeeze it together on the lead screw by hand and see if it slips. No slip and it means it's doing what it's supposed to. (Yes, there's way more technical ways to check, but that will give an idea if it's totally shot)
