remove turret and table for moving

This isn't a Bridgeport, but it is so similar I used a Bridgeport manual to guide me on the dis-assembly and reassembly. It was all pretty logical with no great surprises. Here is a pic of the saddle going back on. With two guys, you wouldn't need the skyhook. A lot of other pics here.

Well, I got the machine in a shop. I got my book in the mail, and jumped in . I took off the table, flipped the head upside down, and hosed down the frozen solid ram with panther whizz. we are waiting for a good freeze to use a skidsteer to take it through the yard and hold it over the basement stairwell. We then plan to hoist it down onto a sheet of steel on rollers and rolling it right in through the door. fingers crossed we won't have to break it down any further.
