If you lubricate them really well, they should work fine.

I`ve been looking for a Starline pulley for a couple weeks, it used to hang on a oak tree branch for years well Norma found it under the snow today so we`ll restore it tomorrow. 8)

Built to last, and made to be repaired if needed was the best way. Throw away junk is not worth it when heavy or hard use is necessary. Those all look great.

Not quite there yet.

Those pulleys would be good deer hangers. For anything bigger, you might have to make a compound setup.
