You made a good point that regular CAT5 actually can last quite a while, if
someone wanted to use it.
And the cheapest if they wanted to use PVC, at $60 a spool/box.
But a couple things to note...
Shireen outdoor shielded cable is less expensive (or equivellent) in price
to regular plenum CAT5.
Get a proff. welder out there. He should be able to fix it.

No, nothing like that. The generator had purely electrical failure, and
was stuck in the "brake" mode, where the shaft only spins at perhaps 15 rpm,
no matter the wind.

That is caused by condensation or rain coming in the top of the leg.
Basically there is no drain at the bottom of the leg and the water is
repeatedly freezing at the snow line.

was my tower I would just split a piece of pipe, weld it around it to
reinforce it and then use my jin pole to bring it down and replace that
section.
Better check the bottom to make sure it isn't rusted out from the water
We've seen something like this. Engineer recommended taking the same
size pipe. Have it cut in half to form a half-moon. Then use U-clamps
and clamp around the stress crack. Being only 40' feet, probably don't
have much to worry about.

Water inside froze and split it open.

Definitely from freezing as it comes from the inside out.
If it were mine, I would figure out a way to get it down with the gear
on it and put up a new one.
At 40' there are lots of sign and rigging companies with a crane that
could pick it up off the base and lower it so you can get the gear off

That's water freezing inside the leg and splitting the leg.
I bet the drain holes in the bottom are plugged and not letting water drain
I would avoid this tower. I surely wouldn't climb it.
