Sorry to hear and see your misfortune. Those straight arm loaders are awfully hard on tractors. One could say castings are old and metal fatigue has set in. My dad broke his H like this when it was 3 years old. Same thing, straight arm loader. Bolt were not loose on dad's H. The engineering was not great on these loaders. Newer loaders with sub frames beef up the tractor. Tractor really isn't the best engineered vehicle for a loader but we all use them, economics is the name of the game.

Something you might look at, a good metal fabricator could incorperate a sub frame into that loader. All you need is heavy 6-8 inch chanel from rear axle housing to front bolster and anchored to clutch housing.

My dad's H broke just ahead of pedals, thus steering wheel pinned his trousters to seat. Luckily, trousters was all it caught. He had to use pocket knife to free himself.
