My question is this. The motor is on a swing
arm and is held up by tension from the drive belt.
Can I leave the motor attached (in it's normal
operating position) for the ride? I will be driving
it about 1/2 hour in a pickup truck.

I don't want to ruin the bearings or otherwise hurt
the various parts, but removing the motor would be
a major nuisance since I would basically have to
re-wire the saw to do it.


I don't think I'd have a problem moving it intact, assuming you can handle the
strain of getting it in and out of the truck. As for the motor bouncing up and
down, you can keep it from doing that by buying a roll of plastic shipper's tape
and applying it liberally. That stuff has a 1000 uses, and is much less likely
to stretch or tear than duct tape.
