Has anyone checked the WW Grainger catalog?? If they don't carry it, you probably don't need it. US Tower gets them from somewhere and I'll bet they are an off the shelf item. They can't sell enough towers to have them manufactured special.

Rich,
I should have read your message before posting. I was going to call US Tower about the bearings too. I have a HDX589, the K10 bearings must be what I need.
Now to find some !!!

I tried calling US Tower all day...but phone just rang. Not sure if there is a holiday somewhere that they didn't come to work today.

I found that the bearing inside the sheave is a K10 bearing. Looks like a KP10 bearing might work but these seem to be REAL hard to locate.

Thanks for all the ideas from the list. With the amount of towers out there, I was hoping for a stock replacement solution, but looks like this is a bit more complicated...or expensive.

Im looking for the 5 inch OD Pulley Sheave for the HDX-689. This is for the ¼ in cable. I need to order a few of these as I'm replacing all the cables on the tower right now. I know US Towers had them, but wanted to see if anyone else has replaced them from another vendor for a better price.

Thanks...
Rich
