Well, EIPS 6x37 appears to be one option, not bad for cost - several markets, still 1/2", still fiber core, better bending radius, little stronger, lower twisting problems-usually easier lay. Still others- some stronger, some much more expensive. I'm still looking around and have read a lot of...

I guess I'm ready to let it drop, Improved Plow Steel is not the strongest wire rope available-6x19 is not the best for bending radius. As a matter of fact some wire ropes are stronger, more flexible, ( translate safer) and cheaper than many 6x19 suppliers offer. I did "look it up" but the TM...

Checked at Fastenall today, none of the choices had a load factor above 4600lbs. so thats a no go. The sales rep said he would make some calls to see what else they might be able to order. Also made a contact with a local logging supplier, he'll get back to me tomorrow.

Havn't found it yet, just copied from the old post after a search.

Found this in an old post: Thank you Spicergear it's nice to know someone knows I'm not stupid besides me!:grin: TM for M35a2 says 9/16 cable dose fit. While I was in the Army. I was tout by my chief mechanic to use 210 ft. of cable, anchor the cable on a hill, and hook it into the winch. Then...

Safety is one of the reasons I asked in the first place. I took the OSHA crane inspection course years ago and am certainly cognizant of the dangers lurking about. I'm not looking for cheap, just options.

I guess I'll continue my research, I do have a Fastenall store I frequent locally. I have found 1/2 EIPS 6x25 which has a better bending radius and higher tensile strength, about 1.80/ft. I'll try to contact Coleman's to get specs on the 9/16". If it would happen to be 6x25 or 6x37 the larger...

Thanks for the guidance, Coleman’s did not have the tensile strength listed but I thought I might be able to track it down since the ID numbers are listed. I thought it might be worth a week-end trip since I'm sure I could find some other goodies there also. $190.00 for 300' didn't seem too...

Thanks, I read the specs, I'm wondering if anyone used this as a substitute. I've also read here on SS that some military mechanics replaced the 1/2 inch with 9/16 inch. Some say it spools fine but may reduce from max 220' to 210'. This product seems to be priced right and I wonder if anyone...

My deuce came without the winch cable and chain. Does anyone have any experience with this cable? I know it's a little heaver than stock but seems to be a pretty good price for 300'. Wire Rope, 9/16 x 300 Ft [332501] - $190.00 :: Colemans Military Surplus LLC - Your one-stop surplus store with...
