This morning, just as I finished the last of my plowing, my winch cable snapped. It broke right at the crimp that forms the loop at the end. I can't complain about the timing as I had three driveways to do and got it all done before it happened!
Now I know this is a total newbie question but I have to ask. How do I fix this? I can get the cable back out of the winch, but where do I get new crimp clamps to re-form the loop and what do I crimp it on with? Or can I use the U-bolt type cable clamps to make the connection? I was thinking they might be easier as it would make it easier to field repair this if it happens again.
