Can't find replacement tine for my Woods landscape rake.

I recently purchased a Woods LR-6 landscape rake from Craigslist, and found it to be a great implement, super handy. But, I caught a chain link fence and broke a tine. I thought tines were fairly consistent and inexpensive, but I'm having a very difficult time finding the right one for this rake. Woods and Messick's told me it was discontinued and they couldn't get any, but Woods sent me the drawing.
I have to imagine that this tine is used on another rake, but I can't find it anywhere. This tine has a width of 3/4', but I can't find a tine less than 1". I can grind that down, but it still looks like the other dimensions are off. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

Maybe just move the broken one to one end and call it a day? Or did you break an end one. Would a couple inches lost on the width really matter if you can't / until you can find one? But yea, I'd want to fix it as well if possible.

I did break an end one, but like you said, I'd like to have it fixed properly. Plus... every time I use it, I seem to be trying to get close to something on that end. Murphy's Law.
