[TowerTalk] US Tower HDX-689 Sheave replacement

[Gary and Arlene Johnson]

Has anyone checked the WW Grainger catalog??  If they don't carry it, you 
probably don't need it.  US Tower gets them from somewhere and I'll bet they 
are an off the shelf item.  They can't sell enough towers to have them 
manufactured special.

Rich,
I should have read your message before posting.  I was going to call US 
Tower about the bearings too.  I have a HDX589, the K10 bearings must be 
what I need.
Now to find some !!!
