I received some interesting messages on my previous post. Back when I took
the tower down I slapped this web page up.
http://wat.midco.net/kk0sd/tower/tower.htm
Please look at the bolt picture near the bottom of the page. The bolts have
no markings. I am planning to replace the bolts with regular grade 5 bolts
from the hardware store that fit snuggly through the holes
I have since learned it is a Jontz tower, but have no other information.
Fortunately, here in rural South Dakota this project does not require any
permits. On the advice of this group I am going to surround my buried tower
section with a rebar cage. According to the locals I will be the first guy
around here to do this. The locals just emphasize over and over I must get
deep enough to prevent frost jacking.
Hopefully this answers the questions that were asked - please keep the
comments and suggestions coming.
Thanks and 73,
Joe kk0sd
