I got some really nice replacement winch rope (3/8" x 100' Warn Spydura) to replace my 12 year old 5/16" Amsteel Blue rope. Hmmm, in 12 years I guess I never re-spooled that last layer of rope against the drum since it always looked like it was so perfectly spooled. Rust seems to have merged with the side of the rope against the drum. I got it off, but that was ugly.
