Good job, handy welding setup to have. I may have missed you saying it but how did you ensure that the rod stayed square to the pin hole in the eye? Did you check it after?
When the spool change occurred the rod was cooling. Would that have affect anything?

Sorry, perhaps you did mention it, but what quality/gauge wire did you use?
