George,

Any idea who the manufacturer is?  My tiller head is functional, but wobbly, since it was tightened down too hard one time (my fault).  John

I got a new tiller head assembly for about $250, from some company in Maine. 
I've attached a picture showing the old versus the new. I don't think the new one will ever need replacing.
