OK, let me show my ignorance. I thought that the intent of a thrust
bearing on a tower was to take the vertical load off of the rotator.

So, I was wondering how you came to the conclusion that the Rohn
TB3 bolts should not be relied upon to support the mast and antenna weight?
Just your own observation or did you read something from Rohn about this? I
don't disagree with your conclusion, I just wonder if Rohn ever said
anything about using other clamps above and below the bearings to support
the weight.
