Default Unlikely

Hello,
The rod heads are the usual failure point, but the whole piece is undergoing cyclic loading, and thus work-hardening. It is common practice to rehead rod after about 5-7 year interval, but even if this is beefy rod for the load, 20+ years is on the antique side. Recycle it.
Fair leads,
Brion Toss
