I also use a come-along. I put a U-Bolt on the mast, tie a rope to
the U-Bolt and run the rope though a snatch block mounted on the top
rung of the tower. Then attach the rope to the come-along outside of the
tower so that the entire come-along is outside the tower.
Have also used this same setup, minus the come-along, with another
snatch block at the base of the tower and pulled the mast up with a lawn
tractor or my truck.
If I have a helper on the ground I use the truck. If I don't I use
the come-along.
