Get a nut that fits snug on the rebar slide it on and just give it a few good wacks with a sledge. Or just buy a hose clamp and a wash. Put rebar thru the washer then put hose clamp on. That should get you thru in a pinch.

Or what Beav posted looks best. Cable clamp.

Ya that work a nut that fit snug an smash with big hammer

Just heat up the deep water side red hot and smash it with the 2# hammer on an anvil
. It flattens the rod and the lock can’t slip off...problem solved.

5/8" nut hammered on or a cable clamp

Easiest would be to just dog knot it with some #11 wire until you find the missing stop, Dave. Gotta be in the bed of your truck or in the shed where they were stacked. Probably a good idea to put a socket on the bolts of your other rods?

Make friends with someone that can weld and forget about it.

Put a washer over the end . Heat it with a torch and flatten with a hammer. That's how I fix all my traps that involve a stake. On coil springs just drill a hole in the washer and attach the swivel.

I had bolted others very tight an thought rusted on, I have to check again , couldn't find stop
