Has anyone checked the WW Grainger catalog?? If they don't carry it, you
probably don't need it. US Tower gets them from somewhere and I'll bet they
are an off the shelf item. They can't sell enough towers to have them
manufactured special.

Rich,
I should have read your message before posting. I was going to call US
Tower about the bearings too. I have a HDX589, the K10 bearings must be
what I need.
Now to find some !!!

I found that the bearing inside the sheave is a K10 bearing. Looks like a
KP10 bearing might work but these seem to be REAL hard to locate.
Thanks for all the ideas from the list. With the amount of towers out
there, I was hoping for a stock replacement solution, but looks like this
is a bit more complicated...or expensive.

Subject: [TowerTalk] US Tower HDX-689 Sheave replacement
Im looking for the 5 inch OD Pulley Sheave for the HDX-689. This is for
the ¼ in cable. I need to order a few of these as I'm replacing all the
cables on the tower right now. I know US Towers had them, but wanted to
see if anyone else has replaced them from another vendor for a better
price.
Thanks...
