If Tower Jack is no longer available commercially,  the thing to do is to either
borrow one, or get someone who has one to make you a sketch... and get one
made up at a local shop.   Probably wouldn't cost more than $100.

But as a practical matter, at this point... 40' of tower,  neverseize on the 
legs...
just put up a ginpole,  have a groundcrew to pull on the line... and wiggle
the sections a bit.   Probably come right apart.   Just prying with a 2/4 might 
be enough
to get things started,.

.... reminder:   use a turning block for the ginpole line, at the tower base, 
and 
position your ground crew some distance away from the tower.
