I have the swagging tool that uses the two blocks and the bolts to crimp
the ferrules. I used it and it is no way close to the crimp on the
original cable. It looks like it would be fine for crimping cables that
might be used to suspend an item for display or possibly something like
a garage door cable but didn't feel comfortable tilting my tower over on it.
I did call them on W2LK's suggestion and the cable is $122.00. They were
going call the Kansas plant to see when they could ship and get back to
me, it was pretty close to closing time in Kansas. They didn't make it
today, hopefully they will call tomorrow.
I guess I didn't think about them. In my mind I guess I thought of the
winch as coming from somewhere else. We'll see what happens when they
call me back.

Why not just buy a 1/4" swagging tool? They sell the "swags" at Lowe's

Subject: [TowerTalk] Tilt Over Cable Replacement
I have noticed some surface rust starting on the tilt over cable on my
HDX-555. I have purchased replacement cable but am having a heck of a time
finding someone who can properly terminate it for me. Any suggestions from
any one on where to start looking? I hit up the local small airfield but
they don't have anything for the 1/4" cable. I tried a shop that makes
hydraulic hoses thinking they had presses, they might also have the dies for
swagging but they don't either.
Has anyone ever gotten winch cable replacements from UST directly?
Thanks
Phil
