My blueprint of my LM70 clearly states that the pull/down cable shall be 
..3/16..7X19 and have a WORKING LOAD of 1400 pounds....most cable sold 
advertise a
BREAKING STRENGTH ...

And I am told the Working Load  is 1/10th of the Breaking Strength...

If this is true ..where in the world can you find a 3/16 cable with a 
breaking strength of 14,000 pounds..???

Or am I missing something....
