Place into the drill chuck in a lathe tail stock. Chuck up the tube piece into the lathe. Move the two parts together and tack weld. Finish the welding out of the chuck. If you weld no better than me, let cool, and return the part to the chuck and clean up the welding grapes with a cutting tool. Before one goes to these lengths be sure you have enough thread run between the rod end bearing check nut and where the threads end on the rod.
