LTB: rope wrench slic pin zk-2

[Christrees]

Does anyone of there have an extra slic pin for the rope wrench? I bought the rope wrench that was on here and theres something wrong with the slic pin. Its barley rolling? Idk why. Treestuff has 3 week back order. Ill pay you for it.

I'll look. I know I had one for the ZK-1 but not sure if that one will fit. Measure yours for me. If I can find it and it fits, it's yours.

I don’t think it is suppose to, the rope creates friction by running over it, there wouldn’t be as much if it acted like a pulley.

When i pull down on the hitch it doesn't move at all unless. I pull down the wrench. Im pretty sure its the slic pin. Its been awhile since I had 1 also. But i think im right. Could be wrong

I know I have one for a zk2 and maybe for a zk1.. issue is that I want to keep them as backups. If your in a pinch and kick down a few bucks for shipping I’ll send you my backup and you can order me a replacement.

 

[Christrees]

Yeah i understand. I want to try and make it so i dont have to put an order in anytime soon. Ive spent like 600 just this last week on gear. And moneys starting to get tight. I mean id put an order in eventually but not for a month or 2. Im the same way id get a backup too. Unless i order $100 it would cost me like $50 for $12-15 for 2 slic pins. I couldn't find any on ebay yet either

I cant find my tape messsure so i took a pic of it on a small steel ring? Probably dosen't help just tried to think of something youd have.

You think the pin is a little bit too fat then?
A little sandpaper should do the trick if that’s the case.

 

[Christrees]

Maybe..or a little course or something cant think of the word. I was moving the wrench up and down with the hitch affecting it. And the pin would roll then stick. Roll stick. That may help. Worth a try. I have to pick some up thats gotta be pretty fine.

 

[Brocky]

When the pin is loaded it is in a straight line downward, forcing the pin into the plate, the rope slips over it easier than causing it to rotate.

Pin does not move. Go fly dat wrench. I have loads of spare pins all in various forms of wear. Wrench is my goto. I own 3 but have killed 3 mostly due to corrosion. That pin is fine. You need to look at your hitch. Post some setup pics.

 

[islandarb]

This is a killer setup..

That pin has some nice wear. You good.

Ok cool thanks..its been awhile. Ill put a pic up when i can i think its a 4/1 michocan. And i haven't had it in the tree yet. I was trying it just by hand. So thats probably part of the problem. It was -20ish with wind chill. But ill take it outside quickly tomorrow.

 

[Christrees]

how long is your tether? That setup looks short. I like it.

I had a machinist make sheaves for the rope wrench early on, and even with both sheaves turning or held, the wrench would still work about the same either way, as long as the rope was bent in the S shape above the hitch.
