[TowerTalk] TX-472 motor

[Wayne Crawford]

Greetings!

Has anybody here done a retrofit motor drive to run a TX-472 up. I did a modification on the hand winch with a coupling nut on both the tower and raising fixtures. Using a drill I am able to get the raising fixture to lift the tower up quite nicely. However the tower itself just weighs too much for the same drill to run the tower up. The drill won't budge it. I was thinking of using an impact wrench but am not certain if this would be appropriate.

thoughts!

Thanks & 73
