Hogs ripped my swivel up and rolled my pipe off. All I had left was 1/2 a swivel and my ring! I spent an hour today and didn't find a thing. I'll try again when things brown up.

I have pics of my pipe set ups. i have changed a few details....I have made the chains shorter and added a second swivel. Also you need a bigger washer under the cap than what I have shown. 1 or 2 fender washers work great.
When buying your swivels do NOT get the shiny ones as they are not that strong. Go to TSC and get the heavy duty ones with the dull finish. I used one of the cheaper ones on my first pipe and they busted it the first week it was out. The pipe is still MIA. They have yet to bust the ones from TSC.
I also used a. 1-1/2" round pipe for my stakes.
This my first of 2 set ups. The pic of the pig with cow...that pig stayed on the pipe for over 7hrs this night and returned the next 3 nights for a minimum of 4hrs.
This is pipe #2
Looking from the pipe down my shooting lane. My stand will be 65yds down the right side.

Here's a pic of one we had set up. The pigs found it in a hurry. I drilled a hole through the cap, put a swivel on each end and used a cable instead of chain. The threaded end is on the far end. Didn't want the pigs to somehow unscrew the cap and push the pipe who-knows-where. I only put 2 holes in this one. Usually drops 2-3 kernels each time.
So, you are saying a 5/8" hole is too big and maybe should use a 1/2" hole?

You tie it to a tree or stake it out. Hogs roll it around and corn falls out the small holes you drilled in it. Just enough to not waste the corn but keep them entertained. The holes need to be big enough to allow kernels to fall out fairly easy or it doesn't work well.
You can also do the same with clear 2 liter bottles and crush them. These work for everything. Including deer and squirrels. They beat it around to try and rattle the corn out.
