need to move a lathe
Jonny:
Wont be a problem with a Hiab I did a similar thing 15 years ago and was a bit shocked.
Pulls on drive car in front and lifts a 140 from bed over and in front of car. Then picks car up in front and puts in the bed with 4ft high sides approx. 8 ft from ground.
Just make sure he don't put (and I know what theyre like) strap round the spindle or face plate in your case.
On the older ones theres usually 26mm+ holes in the base at front and tail stock end to insert bar through and pick up. Newer M series use an eye bolt threaded in and positioned at balance point with tail stock on to buy about £3.
Nearest I can come up with is first picky of hydraulic copy lathe and would say 50's. Hand wheel on the right, basic Norton gearbox and a variation of top head cover. http://www.lathes.co.uk/harrison/page10.html
Think there was a point where Harrison swapped hand wheel sides the main difference between Colchester and Harrison even though Harrison a lot dearer.

Well I am totally shattered but its out and waiting for the man with the hiab :D
took pic at halfway point.

Headstock and apron do look sturdy! I imagine you're all out, alright! :thumbup: :clap:
hermetic:
Well done Shipto, it is never easy, I like the way your captive rollers work, a lot of that exhaustion you feel is due to the stress! It looks even more top heavy in the middle of the path than it did in the workshop, glad to hear you got it to the road without mishap. I also note that like me, you take off all the sticky out bits!

Nicely done sir, they are a pig to move about, hopefully it's not getting too damp in our summery weather...
IMHO, that looks a bit bigger than an L5, and the bed casting doesn't look like a Harrison at all... it will be very interesting to see what you've actually got there.
