New tow rope after about 40 years

I have done something similar to this with 5/8 improved cable I got from my junk dealer who had a Holmes 750 on an international COE semi that he had to change cable on. The old man teaching it us called it plaiding the cable, and it was great to use with a Wyeth/Scott power puller (known locally as a red devil) for anything imaginable. At least until it was time to roll it back up onto the wire spool it lived on and carry it around, lolol.
