The tow cable stowed on the turret is made from the same thread as the mast stay and both were painted Gunze Dark Iron. The end loops are from the Legend set. The tracks are laying better on this side, I need to fiddle with the other side on the rear idler. Music wire was used for the cable that operates the dozer. It's hard to see in the photo but there is a resin clevis that attaches the loops to the dozer blade. There are some photoetch turnbuckles that hold the tow bar in place in the stowed position on the rear mast support, by some magical circumstance they fit exactly though my placement of the brass hooks for the attach points was just by eye. Sometimes you get lucky.
