Default Eljer toilet repair

We have an Eljer toilet, which I believe to be a Patriot Triangle. There is a date stamped inside, Oct. 12, 1964, and a number 1124. About 4 months ago we replaced the ball cock and flush handle. The replacement ball cock was not an exact match, but the closest we could find. It seemed to work fine for about 2 months then the flush handle broke off, because it took so much pressure to push it down. We replaced the flush handle but have not been able to figure out why it continues to be so hard to flush. I have looked for replacement parts on-line but have not been able to find anything that looks like the inside of this toilet. I have attached a couple pictures.
