Welded mine twice but the design is faulty! Always gonna break at that last hole like yours. That’s where I pin most implements to keep them behind the tractor. I converted to aftermarket chains ($50 for 2) and eliminated the problem. Not enough meat on that bar!
That failure is due to compression. Got to adjust those sway bars to ensure the two are adjusted to prevent compression (ie; the left should stop the sway before the right gets to compression, and vise versa).
I try to keep them as tight as possible, not sure if its helping or making it worse. Ive bent them a while ago when I lost a pin that connects the 3pt arm to the implements and didnt notice for a minute so Im sure that didnt help lol.

Mike Allen, what did you order for the replacement? Ive been looking for something to replace mine also.
Yes, mine did the same thing. I had them welded twice. Welder said horrible design and metal. Where did you get the aftermarket ones to fit? Thanks.
