You are correct. Because there was so much play, that's what caused the springs to fall off. You're also correct that clevis/bolt is worn. (The springs were also clearly on their last legs)
I do have a welder, it's over at my dad's at the moment. I suppose I could have ground and weld it. However, for the time being a heavier tension spring has seemed to resolve the issue.
