(Sorry for the slow responce, had to go outside and get a crunch proof swivel and a pair of channel locks) That is not a "CRUNCH PROOF" swivel, it looks like a standard swivel to me, I am a full grown man and could not crush the swivel.
nelacres we are just discussing Simple Physics not hostility on my end.
My book does not cover Tin Foil will have to find the 3rd Edition to check that out

I will Wager My Degree in Physics that that is not a "CRUNCH PROOF SWIVEL". No need far any upgrade in Pliers or Cahonies both are sufficient to handle about any situation that is presented to me.

I figure if that swivel is welded to a drag then all the crunching a yote would do will not defeat the weld....
I would use the washer though and connect it with a quick connect link.

I will PM you with my Addy where you can mail the Degree to me. Always good to have an extra one laying around.

Cletis the drags I make are off the pattern Robert uses. He gave me the measurements and the and the idea on the Swivels. I figure he has enough experience to know what will work and what will not work.

Yeah I make them with the Spindels the only difference in the ones I have made and Roberts is I use a spindle that is about 1 1/2" longer. I gave Robert some of the same spindles and he told me to make everything 1 1/2" longer also. They make a good drag, have not had them get very far yet.

A cotton picker spindle is about the size of a Railroad spike. The head looks kinda like a sprocket. All them I have ever seen are shinny, not real sure of what kind of metal they are made of (may be Chrome Molly) I know it is some tough stuff.

thanks Blaine and Cletus I know where I can get some now, My paw-n-law lives in farm country where they grow a lot of cotton and I've seen some old cotton pickers around there, he probably has some. they are shinny but they can be brazed or welded.
