Re: Weighting a Challenger

Yep.... I run a 3/4 hp and wanted to know if added weight would make a t&g job go better given a standard solution dwell time of 10 minutes.

Now that I know weights are okay does anyone out there have a solution (weight stack) or recommend an approach.

Cheers,

Mike

Re: Weighting a Challenger

i just used the steal barbells that are 5 sided works on most applications. some surfaces are to rough and cause to much vibration which causes weights to fall off not a good thing! :o)

ive though of trying to get some flat weights or even have a buddy make some shaped concrete weights that would wrap around the machine.

havent gotten that far though

Re: Weighting a Challenger

You could try using runners' weights, which should certainly be available at any runners' specialty shop, or in the running footwear section of a large sporting goods store. They are intended to be wrapped around either wrists or lower leg areas, and can easily be wrapped around the Challenger's shaft. I bought mine at the New Balance factory store near me in Lawrence MA.
