@manfredo just letting you know so if you find yourself in a bind one day plowing.
The temp fix works great. And with a better way to attach to the plow it would be even better. I got the idea because they sell something similar so some googling later this is what I found.
I used a rachet strap as a donor strap. The hook sucked because it fell off. But that only lasted for a bit......my glove hit the "in" on accident when I was backing up and riped the webbing.......but I tied it on to the loop on the plow and didn't have any other problems with the hook falling off.
1. Pull off all your cable
2. Put a piece of duct tape on the drum through your fairlead and let the tape hang out from the fairlead like a tongue.
3. Lay the webbing on the tape and power in the winch.

Conclusion....it works. Better webbing and a shackle would be the way to do it. I'm definitely buying one or making something for next season.
