You ma² have the wrong one±with a hemp³ fiber or nylon core´ Itµs not safe¶ It
won·t stand up to the strain your winch can put on it´
So how can you tell which you·ve got?
If the strand¸ in your cable are all twisted in the same direction, yoU've
the wrong cable¹
The right cable±with a steel coreº
looks kind oF like a "herringbone» pat¼
tern³ with one strand twisted to the right
and the next one twisted to the left ½n'

Dear Editor,
Here's some
plain and simple
PM
A lot of guys seem to overlook
when they±re changing tires on
trucks and trailers.
That's
making
sure
every-
thing's
cleAn
before
mounting
the wheel²and²tire
³
T´is cALs for
wireµbrushing the
studs
to get
dirt and rust oF the threads¶ ·nd
doing the same to those rim¸to-
rim mating surfaces on duals to
get
rid
of ¹oose paintº dirt and
rust»
This w
I
l¼ shortstop a lot of trou½
ble¾
such
as loose
wheels and
damaged wheel bearings
¿
Why let a plain and simple tire
changing
operation
tuR
into a
big shop job?
