Actually yes there is picture on the website that clearly shows where the
mast raising fixture would fit to the second plate at the top, thank you.
A very nice bunch of photos, I had I good time browsing through them all
twice.
Thanks,

>> All,

>> A friend has just received an MRF (mast raising fixture) from US Towers.
>> The question is how does it operate. There are no diagrams or manual as

>>
>> I assume that the fixture bolts to the two holes on the top plate of the
>> tower, is the cable supposed to go though the same hole as the mast?
>>
>> If so this would mean that the mast and thrust bearing would have to be

>> would stop the use of a thrust bearing, I can't believe this would be
>> true.
>>
>> Any help with an explanation or photos would be very much appreciated.

>> Thank you,
