Is the wire rope for u. c.’s a larger diameter ? I believe it is.

The wire ropes are the same lengths, but the carrier rope is a larger diameter. I have seen some lighter rings and D rings as well, but the part manuals ought to cover if they are the same items or not.

I have examples of the rope for both the carrier and the CMP. I am hoping to be in the shed for a few minutes tomorrow to rescue the snowblower, but no promises.
