Supplies:

The 7X19GAC is a good general purpose rope for this application.
Motor: Cub Cadet ride mower 10HP -- ran a belt off of the front pressure plate clutch wheel
Bull Wheel: old tractor rim with non-biased spare tire bolted to the outside of the rim --
Sheeves: http://www.wireropes....com/order.html these were the return wheels.
