Hello everyone,
A good reason to post and say Hi. I need to lift my lathe off my gooseneck trailer and place it.
My lathe is a South bend 14 1/2" with a 8' bed, 6' center to center. Carriage and motor is still
on it. Everything else is off. The equipment I used to load it could lift 3 of them at a time.
But where it is now going is dirt and using a farm tractor to lift, pull trailer out from under
and carry 15' thru door and set on dolly's. Tractor forks are rated for 2700lb full height. I
will be lifting max 6' and get close to the base of the forks. Both other times I moved it the
machines were way oversized, this one is closer to what it can handle.
I know some of you have moved a little to a lot of these so any help would be great.
I wish I could just call the lady that worked in parts for South Bend almost forever but she
is now gone and we all miss her.
Thank You everyone,
Take Care,
Rick
