When I brought my Wheeler and Wilson D-9 home I took all sorts of tools to take it out of the cabinet. Then I discovered a release lever and easily removed the head. Mine is a drop in so that the sewing machine head goes back into the cabinet while you aren't using it.

Thanks you for such complete information on getting my D9 treadle home safely. I ¡°lucked¡± in to this machine at a friend¡¯s yard sale a couple miles from my home.?
As you noted, the D9 is incredibly easy to remove from the treadle base. We gently pulled the head off and nestled it in a moving pad in the cab along w the coffin top. The treadle was carefully lifted in the back of the truck and tied down for the short, slow ride home.?
She is home now, nestled in the corner of my dining room. I had always thought of coffin top machines as ¡°space hogs¡± since the machine is always set up, but I am beginning to think differently now. Because the machine is ¡°always set up¡±, when you take off the top, you¡¯re ready to sew. New idea for this person ?
At any rate - sure is fun to get to know other Wheeler and Wilson owners. Thank you for your advice.?
