It looks like, ( and this is hard to tell not haveing seen a stock
rod) That the loop was cut off the end of the original rod and
welded to a couple nut ( 1" long nut ) then a 3-4 inch threaded rod was
welded to the end of the shaft. Total length, fully extened is 5-6
inches from end to end. fully collapsed, it's about 4 inches. I hope
this helps.
