runs through pulley on anchor (10,000lb rating in dirt, concrete top-filled,
so
the side load shouldn't hurt it), out to a pulley on the nearest available
tree, then straight down to a platform of some sort (pallet?) with 400 lbs on
it. When the weight/platform/pallet come off the ground about 1/4", tension
is about right. Tighten with turnbuckle until weight is back on ground.

Nobody said that hams weren't ingenious.
Sounds like an awful lot of work when all you have to do is make one
toll-free phone call and then you can do the job accurately in a couple of
minutes.
