What kind id it? Hot rolled? Cold rolled? Going to the scrapyard early next week. Thanks in advance.

Either would work, but hot rolled would be cheaper.

You could also use black iron or galvanized pipe with the right outside diameter.

I believe the originals were cold rolled. I've used pipe and hot rolled. All seem to work equally well, but the cold rolled provides the best fit. As an afterthought, which lift arm are you speaking of? I was referring to the rear lift, but it dawned on me that you may be speaking of the rod for the front attachments. I've seen those in both hot rolled and cold rolled.

Yeah you're correct--the rear, 1" dia. arm. Thaks for the responses
