Tower identification help

Does anyone have thoughts on tower model/maker?
Tower roughly 30’
Base is 6.5’ wide
I believe it has a Aermotor mast but I think the tower is from another maker due to ladder type. Any thoughts would be helpful.
Thanks
Eric G

Maybe a Challenge tower?

Welcome Eric. Looks similar to a couple of Challenge towers we have.

I'll go with Challenge. Flat X braces, but have 3 holes around the crossed area. Other towers have flat X braces, no holes.
Aermotor stub on top.
Might look on the inside of the legs for a date. Old Challenge towers I have seen have a date stenciled there.

X brakes from what I believe to be Challenge towers...two different towers...one with multiple holes at the X, one without.

Thanks for all the info guys. Will look on inside legs for date details.
I plan to rebuild the tower platform. Would you suggest using pressure treated 2"x10" for platform?
