How do I put I hook on a frayed cable from my Bronco' winch?
I really need to get some of my stuff out of the neighbors yard and I would rather use the winch on the bronco than a come-a-long....but, the cable on the winch has been broken so it is frayed. So, I really need to figure out a way to put the hook back on the cable and make it all work. Someone told me tape, but I know better. I need to move a little truck box trailer FULL of wood and pull out 3 riding lawnmowers and then....crud, who knows....but I am a disabled woman and doing this all by myself. BUT, I am VERY mechanical ....just not very able. So the easiest way anyone could tell me would be really appreciated. ;0)

Well the right way would be to use a cable crimp tool and re crimp a loop out of the cable. You can use this set up for more strength.http://images.search.yahoo.com/images/view;_ylt=A2...
Then your going to need to rent or buy the tool for the crimp So after you cut off the frayed end of cable feed it through the crimp loop and feed beck through crimp again and use tool to mash crimp into place. The make the tool and crimp to specific size tape measure the cable thickness.
here is the tool.

This will be the best way, its more or less how they are created, Ive done lots of cabling in my day I used cable crimping tool and crimps in my search criteria which I think you going to find quite useful
Hope it helps

The easiest, cheapest, and safest way to do that is called a Liverpool splice. I linked a video that shows this method with rope, but it works with wire cable equally as well, you just need a screwdriver to open up the braids that are still tight. I did this on winches that towed out 84,000 lb pieces of heavy equipment and never had any problems with the splices breaking.
