Challenge pump

[Wayne]

Is there any Challenge pumps out there? Getting ready to install a Dandy at Pioneer Village in Corsicana. Would like to put a Challenge pump under it if I can find one.

I installed a DANDY in a town square display some years ago. Will post pictures. I don't think I have a Challenge pump, not sure.

Thanks! I'm trying to work out the install. There is a fence between where it will be unloaded and where it will set. Have you ever picked tower and head up as one unit?

Wayne i have raised windmills with tower and lowered them also with out a problem. Just be smart and over cautious.

All the time Wayne.

Also make sure the mast clamp is secure

Mine was installed all together last spring .
Company had overkill on crane .

Since the Dandy head just sets on the tower how do you rig up so you pick up the tower and head together. Here is a picture of my strap going under the top casting. Would it and the eight 3/8 bolts be strong enough to pick it all up? The tower is 20ft. The wheel and vane will be on it.

That looks like a good idea. It should work.

straps are always good .
should be a good lift .
