All I have to say is Ughhhhhh.
We left the house at about 8:45 this morning for the 70 mile drive to Hartford City.
Once there, I scattered the troops prepping stuff in order to get it read to load.
A couple people met us there to lend a hand.
I sold the old JA Fay Band saw to a guy and he met us there just about the time we had the Woods stuck on the loading dock. He is planning on restoring it and using it. I have too much going on for another project and I was happy to pass it on to someone who appreciated it. The last date cast on it was 1868. The rims were wood as well. It was just a beautiful piece.
The Woods took almost 3 hours to load. We used a combination of a 4000lb forklift, machine skates I rented (almost worthless IMO), and 3 pallet jacks.
I had to back the F-550 onto some cribbing to get it up to the loading dock height. We managed to get both pallet jacks and the moulder stuck when it was about 3/4 of the way on the flat bed.
I did not take many pictures, I was too busy trying to monitor the circus. Ron took a lot and some video which, he will be emailing me tomorrow.
All in all, it was a good time. The guy from the city who was helping was a great guy. I got to spend the day with my oldest daughter Scout and my Father.
The Woods has three 5hp motors and two 3hp motors. I could only find a couple small repairs on it and a missing button for the stop on one of the motors.
Just a few pictures for now.
