I agree, great job on the tilt motor drive Dennis. I was interested in two thing after viewing your photos. 1. How did you lower the tower with the elements of the StepIR

Larry, Thank you. It is a DB36 with 80m option. Best Regards, Dennis, N8ERF

I've been using a Harbor Freight 5000 lb bumper winch. I have to lug a battery out to the tower to run it but it still saves a lot of work. I mounted it to one of the original tower hand crank base

Outstanding Dennis What is the model SteppIR is on the tower? 73 Larry K1ZW On Wednesday, April 21, 2021, 01:41:01 PM EDT, Dennis Klipa

This is just a suggestion for an alternative way to motorize the tilt over of your tower. At age 70 I recently had to tilt my HDX-572 tower over for some antenna maintenance, using the K-2550 hand

From the bottom-most horizontal u-channel component of my HDX-555 to the axle of the pulley welded to the tower measures 6 feet, 11.5 inches... de k0myw

Hello, Those of you with a HDX-555...Would you please tell me the mounting location of the pulley to the tower( height from the bottom of the tower) I understand some of the OLDER towers allowed you

It is, even has the tilt over accessory, however the original owner installed it too close to the house to tip. Lol.

FWIW, I bought my HDX5106 used and it had a cable rubbing on a cross brace. At first, it just made noise when extended above 70 feet, but over time it got worse as a groove developed in the

Lubricated

JUST KEEP YOUR CABLES LURICATED. SHOULD LAST YOU QUITE A FEW YEARS

That was a problem on the early UIS Towers. They solved it on the HDX towers with an idler pulley mounted about a third of the way down the bottom section. Skip, KJ6Y 818-522-5421 Communications

I'm guessing that's NOT a tip over...?

Good tip. I need to find a way to fully extend this on the ground for inspection / refurbishing and that just might be the solution. Sean

Good for you, Sean. And PVC rollers can make a three man job a one man job when it comes to rolling and turning. 73, Jon Pearl - W4ABC

She's coming home!!!

How tall is the tip assembly ? And at what height does the pulley attach to the tower ?..
