The submitter added that this aircraft previously landed long and fast on a short dirt runway. In departing the endof the runway, the left main gear struck a pothole and subsequently a prop strike occurred necessitating a prop andengine replacement. The runway incursion may have contributed to this premature failure of the axle.
