Default Getting a Unisaw home


" wrote in message
...
I'm looking at a Unisaw on CL. I have a Dodge Ram pickup that can
handle the load but I have no idea how I’d get the thing into the bed
of the truck (just me & wife). The saw is not nearby and a bit of a
drive. I don’t have access to a small trailer, although I guess I
could rent a U-Haul? Recommendations?


Not unusual for Unisaws to sustain broken trunions unless handled with kid
gloves. Lots of documentation concerning that problem. I personally would
absolutely take the motor out so that the trunion only has to supports it's
own weight should the saw shift or get bounced a bit. the motor is probably
close to 100# so that should help with the lifting.
