So I couldn't help but notice how the cable to rotate the chute drags like a boat anchor on the sea floor across this pin. I know the cable is supposed to be coated but I still can't imagine it being much better. the cable actually had a groove filed in the pin. Measuring the height for the mod. Off to the parts bin, found a pulley off an old garage door opener. Cut the pin and weld the head of the bolt on the end. Voila a pulley to run the cable over. It's hard to tell but the pulley is on a pretty hard angle to match the path of the cable. I cut the end of the pin on a slant then tacked one side and bent it into position. The rotate moves 4,000% easier now I can't believe it. It almost justifies this stupid rotate design. My rig. 180lbs on the wheels and about 130 in the rear box. Still could use more....also more ponies. Any idea how much weight is ok on the rear hitch? It scares me the tranny takes all the weight hanging off the back.
