Thanks for the resource Tom.
Folks:

I checked the site, looking for some 1/4"  7 x 19 lift cable for my Tristao 
54 foot crank up.
The listing for the 1/4"  stuff is here:

http://www.farmtek.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?catalogId=10052&storeId=10001&productId=12838&langId=-1&division=FarmTek&pageId=ItemDetail&parent_category_rn=&top_category=&breadcrumb_trail=Chain%2C+Rope%2C+Cable+%26+Accessories%7CCable+%26+Accessories&breadcrumb_categoryIds=12411%7C12413&isDoc=

There are no specifications wrt working load, breaking strength, etc...  
Lacking those for this specific vendor's cable, I am leery of buying it for 
this (possibly) life and property critical application.  The cost per foot 
is about 1/2 that of other 'known' vendors...

Should I consider this cable safe in the critical  tower application without 
  some hard specifications?
