Thanks Scott, thanks for the tips on welding the tube adapters, my Dad got the links welded up today while I was at work, and they look good. I took some pictures but it was dark and the pictures suck.
The rod ends I got are 5/8 bolt and shank, now since you said yours have a 3/4 shank I am getting worried mine are a little on the small side. When we measured the links we made sure we had just enough adjust ability but with as much of the rod end threaded in the tube.
I just found the rod ends like yours, the ultimate radial static load capacity is 40,500 lbs, the rating on mine are about 18,000 lbs. that's a big difference.
Thanks,
Jon
