[QUOTE="Nsghunter, post: 5267457, member: 14436"] Firstly, the stand is really old and I knew when I bought it it had a shorter life than a new one. One of the end caps got busted and reveled there is some rust inside the arm that pivots and holds the cable, on the platform portion. I'm not a tree stand expert but the rust looks more severe than surface rust. I grow concerned that it might break at this point while climbing or in a precarious position (Like things tend to do.). The seat seems to be dry rotted and the tree straps are dry rotted and the buckles are busting. The seat wont really slide back and forth or open easily, it also makes a scratching noise when I slide it down the rail. The thing that will put the stand out of commission will be the rusted arm, I don't know how to post pictures anymore or I would post them. I believe I can order more straps and a seat. Once I saw that rusted area I grew concerned. I had a friend fall from a stand last year and end up permanently disabled. His fall has had me reevaluate all my gear and techniques this season. I wear my safety gear and all but I don't want to risk it. [/QUOTE]
