Not a very good picture but the top angles are sort of mortised together. I was looking for pictures of another belll hub tower top but could not find any. The double truss rod connectors also stood out to me

Here are a couple of pics of Toronto towers

I can see now the top of the tower is notched like an aermoter.They look like they're built well also i like the steel gussets that the X braces hook to. Thanks for the pics Peter

My tower had a Toronto Bell hub on it when I bought it. Looks just like the the above.
I mounted my Aermotor B602 on it. Mast pipe fit perfectly. Very well built and heavy tower.

They are good towers except the ladder steps are junk on them.

I totally agree that the steps are very poor. You need a good soled boot when climbing them.
My Monitor L rungs are far better.

Looks like just flat iron rungs?

So how many different Torontos are there that couldve gone on this tower? I know of the bell hub and the self oiling were there others?

There was the Bell hub and the self oiling model. There was also an open geared version which was similar to the star 12 from F&W. I have a parts list of that one, but have never seen one before. It would be a rare one that I would like to find one day.
the mast pipe in the first picture isn't Toronto its probably Aermotor
