Well, with today being in the 90's & humidity 88% it was too hot to mow, too hot to shoot, too hot for yard work...so I declared today Tree Stand Maintenance /Safety Check-up day! :lol: It wont be too long till I place 2 of these Ole Boys out to their Fall/Winter Home.
First on list was my Big Buck Phantom...renamed Travelling Starr (Only 24 LBS!) by North Star one fine company. They just made some custom platform replacement cables for my Phantom which had straps..... the newer have aircraft cable. I talked to owner Bill Goodwin (President, North Starr) and he had some made for me. Price was under $15 shipped!! A class outfit!
Today I removed the ole straps & relaced with the cable. Perfect fit! Used all SS hardware & camo painted. Also went over all fittings etc. Did same with my Loggy & Loc-On Spirit chain-on. They all definitely needed a going over including paint touch-up. I always do this before each hunting season and one or 2 times during the season. One cant be too safe up there! :lol:
Here's a pic of my Big Buck Phantom 14' with new cables on. Man. its solid as a rock! It folds and is hinged as ONE UNIT. No separate sections to screw around with.
14' BIG BUCK PHANTOM Ladder Stand (Platform Up)
Platform Down (Note New Cables on) Perfect Fit!
My LOC-ON Spirit
Last But Not Least...MY LOGGY :lol:
