>  I'm looking at the possibility of picking up a used US Tower  72' Crankup 
tower. The current owner (not a ham) inherited it with a home  purchase, and 
wants to sell it as he has no use for it. He doesn't know if  it's the 
"Standard" model TX-472 or the "Heavy-duty" model HDX-572. Is there  any way to tell? 
Do they possibly have different widths at the base section,  etc? I'd like to 
know what to look for when I go look at it to determine the  model number 
before I consider buying it, as I live on a mountaintop where I  get substantial 
wind gusts.
 
    Don't have specific details but a 472 has a #4  top section and a 572 has 
a #5 top section. I think the #5 is bigger so the  whole tower would be 
bigger and beefier.
