New tow rope after about 40 years

^^Wire rope, now THAT is something else again. I am no expert on braiding rope eyes, certainly not wire. "But in a different life" in the 70's I worked for a large outfit here in town. "We had everything" was the rumor. Full line of auto/ light truck parts, line of industrial cleaning supplies, made hydraulic hoses and carried lots of fittings. Were were factory distributors for Timken/ Fafnir bearings, Proto tools, Wix filters, and other parts. Had a separate welding store, and the boss started a nice fastener's store

We sold wire rope/ chain/ logging chokers and rigging fittings. I've cut MANY feet of wire, some of it "heavy lube" which was never fun. I think the largest we carried was 3/4, don't remember.. Some of the spools were so large you just had to roll them, you put them under a frame and hoisted each end of the pip axle with chainfalls.

Nothing like that anywhere around here, anymore
