i push dirt here n there. sort of hurts the old foot kicking the lift bar back str8 lol ...
once they bend. they bend easier each time .. hahhaa grrrrrrr

There are lots of alternate design lift rods that are harder to bend.

What I did after bending the lift rod for the umpteenth time was to weld a length of angle iron to the rod.

Angle, channel, box beam...any would be alot more stout than the rod.

I used a length of 3/8 steam pipe. But I think any thick wall pipe would work just fine.

Then the next thing that will happen is the spirol pin(s) in the rockshaft will fail when you hit something.
Slow down and take smaller bites to gain some semblance of control. It's not a bulldozer Ya know, just sayin'

This works well and I don't consider it a hack. I can lift the front of the 107 if I push with my leg. I lived with the springy rod for way too long.
