those are all the pix i have. i didnt take them and i haven't done those mod's, so i have no answers to any possible questions.

please post pictures of your Challenger if you apply these modifications.

Derek could you email me the pics,when I click on the link...nothing

they are not links bud, copy and paste each into your web browser

Thanks Derek,I will fill in the details later on how this works

np.

google that expression, it should be easily explained there bud.

Derek, thanks very much for taking the time to post these. It's unfortunate that on this Forum they don't convert to hyperlinks.

Thanks Derek for the time and effort you spent posting the pictures... very much appreciated.

I put on the bigger wheels today and had an empty apartment to try it on (berber)and it worked fine easy to handle,just have to work out the bugs of getting the adjustments and proper free wheeling of wheels on the long treaded axle and getting the nuts tightened just right.Just one thing is that the wheels add about another 10 lbs.So carring it up three flights of stairs takes getting used to.

Derek, is that the Kearns machine in Australia?
My one concern is that with an open-top solution tank on a machine without a flip-up head, you have to be very careful not to fill the tank so high that liquid spills out when you lay the machine down to change or turn over a pad.

no clue.

good point if that is true.

even with my cimex, with the setup i use now compared to years ago, i rarely fill the sol tank w/ more than 2 gallons of solution at a time.

Why can't the industry come up with a solution tank design that would allow a cover of some sort to be quickly locked in place when the machine needs to be tipped back for whatever reason. And so that the resultant tightness would not impede gravity solution flow, there could be a small "slide-open, slide-closed" mechanism to allow air pressure to be equalized as soon as the machine was raised back up into the working position. With something like this in place, the watertight cover could be kept in place except when the tank needed to be refilled. Hmm....
maybe I should sit down at my drawing board.....

another benefit of that (that i would love) is that it would keep any harmful "vapors" conatined so i dont have to breathe it while i am cleaning.

breathing steaming sodium perc all day cant be good...wonder if i will grow an 11th finger or something

i found some pix on my hard drive of a shower feed system some1 put on their OP machine. i will post them when i find the time. this may be a better option than the spray system.

a tip for you fellas who dont know how, right click each photo and you can save each pic to your own hard drive
