Hi Skip,

I did that.

One time the motor wasn't working on the HDX-555 and we were having 
lightning and thunder so I brought it down by turning the large pulley by 
hand. I didn't take the belt off the pulley, though, just turned the pulley 
(and turned it, and turned it, and turned it...).

It took forever, but I got the tower down.

Maybe it just seemed forever, out there in the rain with the lightning 
flashes all around.

John
