This will depend on what the new rod is, …..is it chrome plated, or satin nickel?….the rods on your Hudson now,…..are they black chrome?….or satin blackened nickel?…..we don’t know what you have, so making a recommendation becomes a shot in the dark,…best to post up pics of what you already have, and what you got for a solid recommendation,…….

Attached is the photo of the old rod and the new one, please let me know what you recommend I use to blacken this.

Thanks,

Joe

For this to be done correctly, a dip in a black oxide solution would be best. Your old rod is the same as your new rod, but blackened in this manner. Neolube, and other similar products are not permanent, and will rub off over time. I offer this service to properly blacken components like this. You can get a hold of me via profile for further details.

JB Weld is very strong, but in this case I don't believe it's a good solution.  This model is powered through the drive rods.  The spacing and shape of the holes in the rod is critical to smooth operation, it has to exactly match the crankpins on the wheels.  I doubt a JB Weld repair could be accomplished with the necessary precision.
