    Maybe another cross member

    If you compare the old and the new version as far as the bench is concerned, you will notice that the new bench has a "T" base footprint with the "T" opposite to the bench seat (the old version it is...

    From your photo, it look like a very old version:

    The "U" shape center arm is bolted (the newer one is welded).

    No "built-in" Plate tree at the aft brace.

    Probably not that bad.

    If you look carefully at the picture, basically you have two design cases:

    1- When the leg press is inserted into the sleeve, but with nobody at the bench, in that case the weight of the plate...

    How much is too much.

    You can probably find one (used) in local newspaper (CraigList, etc) for probably 60 to 75$.
