[@MURPHYSDIESEL]

[@edwardstephens247]

Outstanding recovery!

[@fishpolice150]

Thanks for the lesson wrecker Rick 🙂

[@edwardstephens247]

This is such an educational video! Love it.

[@ginnybeck8093]

Thanks for sharing very interesting and may come in handy sometime

[@1badelf61]

So now I know exactly what to do with all the broken cable we have from the winch. Very informative and most definitely a very usable skill. Thank you. I know I have at least 4 broken cables I will be practicing on in the very near future. Always nice to have one of those double eye cables for short toes around the ranch. Thanks for the lesson on not throwing away the broken cable. As always perfect.

[@MURPHYSDIESEL]

Great to hear!

[@CaseysOffRoadRecovery]

The old Molly Hogan, Man I tied a lot of those over the years. One suburban stuck in the river and a 1 inch cable comes to mind. The longer the tail the tougher they are. 6 foot tail without clamps held quite well.

[@MURPHYSDIESEL]

Awesome! Thanks for sharing Casey! 🙌

[@richardsimpson3433]

thanks for the instruction on the wire rope

[@MURPHYSDIESEL]

No problem 👍

when i first started watching your channel i almost unsubscribed thought you were a S.A. but soon found out you do know a lot and are plain spoken which i like being plain spoken and to the point is good if you know what you are talking about and you seem to. Glad i kept watching. i grew up working in an automotive salvage yard pulling parts we didn't use forklift back then used an old Holmes 440 which worked well. i don't tow for hire anymore i quit when the wheel lift became the normal. my tow truck which i found a couple years ago is a 1966 D500 Dodge with a Holmes twin boom 500 on the back with twin 20,000lb pto winches on it you talk about a truck that will break a cable the wrecker never quits something brakes i have pulled new 3/8" cable into idling and never changed tones only reason i use 3/8 is the weight of the cable and usually only lifting small cars or up to 1ton trucks usually empty and like i say unless i own it doesn't go don't the highway. besides some of the new ones can't tow with sling i have used 4x4 and pulled some but run a risk and at my age not willing to buy wheel list thanks for the videos

[@jeffjefferson6229]

I learned how to do that with cables when I work the new oil wells

[@gerryvolpone6466]

Thank you for the lesson

[@KB-gs8zi]

Hey Rick !!! Quite a ""TALENT "" you have with ""WIRE ROPE "" !!!!! How many slivers have you had in your hand when doing this ??? Waiting for ""THE REST OF THE STORY "" on the next recovery !!!🤔🤔🤠😎😮👍👍👍👍👍

@@MURPHYSDIESEL I did thank you for sharing very valuable information!

[@briantuor1231]

Thank you, been making these for decades but never saw anyone separate and rewind the core as well. We always just ran the core with one side. Be interesting to try it this way. Thanks again. Search on "West Coast three tuck loggers eye" for another , more complicated method of putting in an eye. Thanks again. Well done.

[@MURPHYSDIESEL]

Thanks Brian!

[@jamesmarcum2323]

Nice to see

[@nelsonmattoon150]

Amazing

[@riverfrontww]

Bravo Zulu! Awesome video! Thanks Rick! Does the size of the eye make a difference in strength? Also that looks like hell on a knife blade.

[@johnperun232]

Oh, Thanx Da BUSK BUSK LOL AGAIN THANX Big John

[@tomh6779]

So, how does a guy know when you’re feeding us a line of shite?? Don’t get me wrong 😂… I absolutely LOVE it…. Don’t change a thing. I think on this one you’re speaking the truth.

[@lyndonhamby7432]

Heck yeah 👍👍

[@1984xlx]

Interesting. The only wire rope repairs I've seen made were with clamps. That appears much stronger than clamps alone.

[@briantuor1231]

This is stronger by about 20 plus percent. We have pull tested many.

[@toddpeters9007]

Good job rowdy !! Skills are useful when the sh$# hits the fan brother !

Well done. But please wear a good pair of leather gloves. Cable cuts n pokes hurt n can be bad on infection. Stay safe
