Scotch Hawser Length

[Lynn Eades]

From the image in Mariano's tools post, I suspect that the wire rope for the scotches doubles as a tow rope for a CMP and U.C's. when two chains are added. Also a piece of chain makes up for the disparity of length when the scotches are used at the front or rear of the truck. Only two ropes are needed as the winch is only pulling from one direction and only two ropes and two scotches are used at any one time. Maybe the same length ropes are standard on the various wheel base CMP trucks? If you have the truck and scotches it cant be too hard to work out the rope length or the wire dia. based on the winch rope load capacity etc. (the same type of rope would be more than enough)

Not so sure about that Lynn. Item #59 is the hawser cable, and has 4 links permanently attached to the eyelet. Item 61 is the tow cable, and would use the appropriate pair of #62 to complete.


But then the photo of the tractor with the cables attached show cables with 2 hooks directly attached to the eyelets.
