Hello All!

I am installing a used 572 U.S. Tower that seems to have been maintained 
wonderfully,,,except for the thrust bearing,  The bearing currently on the 
tower is rusted beyond salvage.

The current bearing needs to be replaced with the best possible, longest 
lived replacement.  Low maintenance would be a big help as well.

The new bearing needs to handle a 2 inch mast loaded with approximately 17 
sq. ft. of wind load.

Thanks for any suggestions you may offer!
