Using an aftermarket jiffy stand and spring with the hinge pin, brass bushings and cotter pin from HD, total cost (over $90). 1)
You can see the top bushing and the cotter pin. Notice how the bushing has a small bit of room to rock back and forth.
As per the manual you will have to make sure that is greased well and inspect every servicing.
2) 3) 4)
There is a perfect hole in the bracket on the frame to hold the bottom bushing in place (meaning it can't move like the top one can.
Also you can see where the spring attaches. Also check this for problems at every servicing.
