OT, but a friend in construction informed me that these ('drop rods')
are called 'cane locks' in the biz (I'd never heard that).
O(n) T: I think in the long run it'd be easiest to dig them out and
're-plant.'

Assuming you can expose enough of the surface, could you could
weld a ring onto the end of it and then try limiting it up with an
engine lift? Â Iâ??ve used my lift for many jobs besides
pulling/installing engines, such as pulling wooden fence posts and
even bushes out of the ground. Â You might have to provide a base

I have a gravel driveway with swinging gates going
back to the shop. There are two pipes driven into
the ground that receive the drop rods on the gates
when they are closed. I need to add a few inches
of gravel to the driveway and that would bury the
pipes making them not very usable. Any ideas on
home to gab these pipes and pull them up to match
the new surface of the gravel?</div>
