Can someone of you to get a video of this bell?

Yes- it's the hour bell of the faceless clock. It's too low to be used in music for the carillon - no one else has such a big bell, so there's no reason to write for it.
BTW: How could 2 men push 41,000 lb of anything! It rings either by a hammer on the outside or by a mechanical swing motor.
The pitch is, IIRC, a high-pitch C based on A=450-something. Not A-440, that's for sure.
I say all this because I've not only visited the tower, I met the carillonneur. Nice guy, BTW.

I've got a still picture video of this bell as well, and it has a picture of two men that push the wheels back and forth (the picture will make this much easier to understand). So I assume they have two people (one on each wheel) push the wheels back and forth.

As far as I know, it is.

Isn't it D(flat)0 instead of C0? (comparing the tone with the C0-tone of the Petersbell in Cologne/Germany, it's a D(flat)0. Frightning but beautiful sound though!

Thanks for the compliment!
No, it's pitch is C0. Note, though, that the Petersglocke in Cologne is actually about a quarter tone flat of C0.
