??? These things are top heavy , remove what ever you can . Tool post , chuck , tailstock ....

Ideally removing the lathe from the base . I don't know much about these lathes , but looking at the manual it looks like you can relieve tension on the final drive belt & then remove the belt from the drive pulley & then tie it out of the way & then remove the lathe from the stand ?

Good thing those trailers have lots of tie points .

good luck

We got to a price on the lathe and I am scheduled to get it Friday, assuming it is in good shape. I plan to pull it apart and am wondering what is needed to release the spindle belts.? Manual calls out tensioning and then tightening the bracket mounting bolts in top left of the diagram below.? I am assuming reversing this.? Anyone know what format the bracket mounting bolts are?? I want to make sure I have the right tools with me.? Taking an engine hoist and a U Haul 5x9 trailer with me.? Lower than the back of the pickup.

There is an At;las 3990 about 75 miles from here that I replied to in an ad.? Not great photos but it has a 3 jaw and shows a quick change tool post with a boring bar in it.? It looks like a garage and fairly accessible.? It is being advertised for a client by what appears to be a real estate agent.? Story is older guy in ill health and wife getting rid of the house.? I have an engine hoist so I could move it into my pickup, possibly by removing the lathe from the table.

I am guessing that they aren't getting a lot of interest because the seller messaged me this morning implying that they were very open to offers.

What is a reasonable price range on one of these lathes?? Looks to be a 12".? Serial is 005555.
