Here's the Force-12 C3 on the ground ready for installation.  I re-assembled the yagi with relative ease thanks to the markings of former owner K6BZ.
 
Next step was to climb the tower and hook on a pulley above where I wanted to mount the C3.  Here I am hooking the pulley.  Ground crew is my brother Mal, KF6GZH.

Mal ties the C3 onto the rope - saddle style to keep it horizontal on the way up the tower.

Mal pulls the C3 up using the rope and pulley.
