Do some maintenance on the trailer and decided the winch strap had seen better days. Uncoiled the whole thing, 25 feet of it and it has "Tails" not a loop on the spool end. Also it is 2.75 inches wide and I cannot find another replacement that width. 3" is too wide and 2" seems a little small. It is a Fulton-Monsee T2605 winch on a LoadMaster trailer (Ohio). Any Idea's?

The spec for that winch is a 2" wide strap. The strap will flatten out and widen over time a bit. The last few times I replaced a winch strap, I was buying "vehicle tow straps" like this:

Thanks for the info. I did think it was very strange that it is 2.75 wide

Glad I bought an old upholstery sewing machine. The only part of the strap I've seen go bad is the very end that is exposed to sunlight. Cut off a foot or so and restitch it up. 😁
