Here is the tutorial.

1. Step 1:

   Front Plane>>Sketch.
   

   

2. Step 2:

   Draw two circles.
   

   

3. Step 3:

   Draw two lines at right angle to each other such that it is at 45º to the vertical center line at origin.
   

   

4. Step 4:

   Make a center-point rectangle.
   

   

5. Step 5:

   Trim the unncessary entities.
   

   

6. Step 6:

   Extrude it mid-plane by 72mm.
   

   

7. Step 7:

   Front plane>>Sketch.
   

   

8. Step 8:

   Draw two rectangles like these.
   

   

9. Step 9:

   Extruded cut by mid plane.
   

   

10. Step 10:

    Top face>>Sketch.
    

    

11. Step 11:

    Draw two circles.
    

    

12. Step 12:

    Extrude them.
    

    

13. Step 13:

    Top face>>Sketch.
    

    

14. Step 14:

    Draw two circles.
    

    

15. Step 15:

    Extruded cut by through all.
    

    

16. Step 16:

    Fillet the rounded edges.
    

    

17. Step 17:

    We have the saddle support.
