So I got talked into a new shop space that was triple the size of what I was originally thinking. I am currently moving into a stand alone 4300ft building that I locked in the lease for life at a reasonable max increase limit. I have moved too many times to want to experience it again with larger machines than those from my home garage business. No more worries about what the next rent increase is going to be for me anymore.
First thing to move was my Peterson TCM seat and guide machine. It had been delayed a few times over a week, so I had the bright idea to rent a U Haul truck since it was rated for 6000lbs and I only had 3000lbs to carry. The tie downs are rated for about 60lbs I learned, total bonehead dumba.. move on my part.

And standing proud again. She is still nearly perfectly straight, lost some fins on the main motor, and totally lost the head power lift motor. We went through every single nut and bolt from the outside and made it all happy, replaced all the air locks, worked on all the bushings, it has never run better thankfully.
You should have seen us with a pallette jack under her back, 3 of us standing on it to counterbalance it all ready to jump off, and the forklift with no brakes lifting the whole thing sideways out of the truck!
