[TowerTalk] HG-70HD

[Mike & Becca Krzystyniak]

IMO, and I know its not what you are asking, but I'd crank it back vertical and with the tower extened that small amount for rotor access, use a mast winch to lift it off the rotor and a scissors jack or bucket truck along side (Not recommending climbing it) for the human access.

Good luck with it.

Tower current tilted over at about  30 deg via the layover fixture. Mast has a TH7DXX and A3WS on it restricting the ability to lower the tower any further. Need to pull the mast up enough to do a swap out of the rotator (which is simple). Want if possible to avoid dismounting the beams from the mast. Those with this tower know that there is only a short (very short) mast piece between the rotator shelf, the first bearing and mast tube. and the upper bearing. I’ve envisioned what I think I need to do but was wondering if some simple method exists that I’ve overlooked.

Any ‘been there done that’s’ out there who have done the latter in the tilt-over position?
