I drill through the post with a 3/4 wood bit. I then put a plate made out of a piece of channel iron on the out side to spread the load. I usually have extra gate hinge bolts that are 3/4. I weld an washer on the top of the gate pin. You can then hook your cable under that. I then string my cables. I use ratching chain binders to pull on the cables with. The binders work much better than a turn buckle. You just run the cable through the loop that the hook goes through.
I usually take several weeks to pull them back to straight. I tighten the binders up and let the barn set. You will get some winds and such that will shake the barn a little. That will loosen the binders. So you tighten them again.
Those old barns are stiff to get back to square. I have tried to pull some down that where leaning way over and they would not fall until I cut some of the bracing with the chain saw.
Just take your time and an you can get them square again.
