The quick releases were/are still used here in Canada for pulling back the 105 howitzers. I know I have at least one, and am pretty sure I have more. I also have some of the "rope, wire, 8 foot 10" shown on the photo.
The "jackall" ratchet device has been replaced with a regular chain comealong these days. The larger 155 guns use a hydraulic power pack to pull back the guns.

Hello Rob...
Have you got any of these 10' wire cables/looped kicking around?

There are two diameters of the wire rope that I am aware of. I believe they are 5/8 cable and 1/2" cable....I would have to confirm. I think I have spares of the 1/2 cable, and that that diameter cable was for the CMP trucks as well. The larger dia cable was also used on the Universal carriers. I only have one spare of those which will end up going on a carrier. I believe Brian Asbury has them available for around $75 or so.
