Hi Chris, Re: grumpy's last post about lifting a Scottie 45 onto a work bench....he omitted to say, never attempt it on your own...you
will do your back an injury...these machines are seriously heavy...170lbs or 73Kg or on the old scale 1.51 cwt (hundredweight)
My advice is to make a workbench using sturdy saw horses, some strong 5 ply or equivalent, with a ramp and a stop... and drive it on under its own power...see my post..Click
HERE or get a mate to help you get it up on a bench.
Just remember that safety is the first priority and we actively promote workshop safety here at Outdoorking.
Keep safe guys,
