I am about to move to my new house and I need

Anyway, I need to move my Rockwell (now Delta)
contractor style table saw. I have removed the
table extensions, the fence, the fence rails,
the blade, table insert and splitter.

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.

Any and all advice would be appreciated.

FROM MY REPLY ADDRESS. Sorry for that hassles,
but spammers make it necessary.

Thanks in advance,

Unless your truck has no suspension you'll be fine just load it and
drive it will be fine. I moved a unisaw 1200 mi with no problems.
