I picked up a machine a few years ago to rebuild that had suffered main abuses including a missing pin and bent lifting bar plates.
There should be two threaded pins that screw into the casting M12 with about 20mm of projection from memory, these are something that may be available locally to you rather than shipping them or something a small engineering shop should be able to produce at
minimal cost.
The plates are a pain in the backside to try and straighten and as i had a ton of parts to order from Felder, that said I?am in the UK so don't seem to suffer the nightmare you guys on the other side of the pond seem to have with shipping of parts.
I trust the above is of use

I've recently bought a '99 BF6. It came with?a wheel on a long handle that can lift up the jointer end of the tool and allow it to roll around on the two wheels on the saw end of the machine.
This roll-around handle assembly on mine appears to have been abused. The steel plates that make up the part that lock onto the machine are bent outwards and the previous owner was using a hex key put through two threaded holes on the machine's adapter as a
lifting point, when I'm guessing there should be a threaded pin or something to lift by instead. See attached images.
Any other cavemen still own a BF6? If so could I ask for a few photos of a unit in good condition so that I can repair any damaged parts or make new those that are missing?
Thanks,
Henry
