Moving a South Bend Heavy 10" into the shop

Of course, I managed to pick the rainiest day of the week to move some precision steel.

The lathe was loaded into a komerade's truck using a tractor.

Unfortunately no such mechanical brawn was available for the unloading process.

A gantry was constructed using three 2x10s and a heavy duty ladder. After lifting the base with a block and tackle rated for 1000lbs, the truck was pulled forward and the base slowly lowered to the ground.

The base was rolled into the garage on a heavy dolly.

The lathe itself was unloaded in a simmilar fashon, this time using a 2ton come-along.

The 2x10" gantry was reconstructed inside my garage for the assembly procedure.

The lathe was rolled into position, and carefully lifted into position using a come-along.

Once the lathe was locked at appropriate altitude, the base and legs were fitted into place.

Mission accomplished.
