I’d Attempt to weld that stem back onto the knuckle before I’d pay $85 for a NOS part. Give Steve a call in my signature, he might have some good used ones laying around. I will tell you.. It’s a weak point of those jacks, I’ve seen my fair share of Broken ones.
Since it’s a Recent purchase, I’d probably give it’s a once over prior to spending money for parts.

Unfortunately the gentleman I got it from did not have the other end of the joint. I will call steve . thanks
It wasn’t by chance jammed up in the base of the handle?
No he said it broke off and he planned to get it fixed. The release stem was installed but broken when i picked it up. He stated you could just tighten it and it will work. I did as he suggested and it worked. I did not leave the jack up under a load up for long.

Is there anything precision about it? Does it actually contact the seat? Or does it press a ball into the seat?

It uses a ball.
That part on my SJ2 is machined - I can't imagine someone twisting the handle hard enough to snap the stem off the yoke, unless there was a version that was stamped and welded?

Oh, believe me. Where there's a ham-fisted idiot, there's a way. My guess is that a lot of times, they figure they don't want it leaking down so they really gronk on it. Then they have to get pliers to open it up and eventually parts are damaged and weak and the cycle continues until it breaks. I'll admit to doing the same thing on my HF engine hoist. The seat isn't perfect and it won't seal up unless I tighten it more than I should.
