[TowerTalk] US Tower HDX-689 Sheave replacement

[Grant Saviers]

I haven't had a pulley off my HDX589 but would assume the sheaves are 
similar since 4 of the 5 tower sections are identical to the 689. Can 
you post some pictures and describe what is wrong with the sheaves?  I'd 
like to know what is in y future.
