I got them of Craigslist and the previous owner said he had them on his 1450.
Perhaps the weights are concrete rather than cast iron. They have a few scars so maybe the previous owner had a difficult time getting them on as well.
I think the threaded rod, instead of the carriage bolts, might be helpful. I also think the idea of using a support rod that has been shown here can help.
I will give it another try. Thanks for suggestions.
