Been using an old axle shaft for several years I've broke it a couple times and it's been bent for some time. So today I had a light bulb moment . I had one fork lift fork I had not cut up so I split it down the middle welded 2 halves back together. A little extra grinding to get it to fit the receiver on my quick attach frame . I shouldn't have issues with bending or breaking this one.
