This is what I did:

Now I have the machine up and running I'm going back through posts for more insight. Where would you add the grease? Is there a grease nipple somewhere? When you say you had the feed rollers covered with white rubber... how? - I've only tried a couple of pieces through it but it is getting...

Thank you for your reply, I'm confident that the 3 way switch (1-0-2) changes the direction of the Rise/Fall - I just don;t understand why they would have unwired it. The lever on the right appears to engage the rise/fall - I will put a lock nut (again don't know why it didn't have one)...

Me again!!! So, she’s up and running! But I have a lot of questions, if anyone can help then I’d be very grateful. This switch was disconnected. The wires inside are you joined together, I believe this switch changes the direction on the power/rise up/down? This nut was also missing which...

So... the update that nobody asked for... We have skates! Only 2 so far as the other one is still in transit but hopefully here today.

WOW - Thanks Vann, So potentially, this is 56 years old and the first one off the production line?

I've ordered the skates I linked to above. Thanks for the input.

I've just invested in a waste oil heater, not being delivered until next week but heard good things about them. I've heating a 17m x 6m barn that probably has a ceiling height of up to 6m.

I'm concidering these for something more long term... VEVOR VEVOR 4PCS Machinery Skate Dolly, 17637LBS/8T Industrial Machinery Mover, Heavy Duty Carbon Steel Machinery Moving Skate with 4 PU Wheels and 360° Rotation Non-Slip Cap for Warehouse Workshop Factory | VEVOR UK

Jesus! - Well that explains why the fork lift was struggling!

The chap i bought it from is adement that its well under a tonne, the forklift we used only lifts a tonne and it lifted it (wheels were coming off the ground at points). You really think this things over 1400kg?

You agree with scafold poles? Or have something else in mind?

Not sure how I missed your post, but NO I hadn't seen this! - Thats perfect, thank you

Yes this is option 3 (and the easiest one), however 2m to the left would take up just slightly less space!

SO...... question number 2. How do I move it? I managed to unload and get it into the barn with a forklift but I need to move it sideways about 2 meters (there was not room to use the forklift). So far the best I've come up with is: 1) - Invite 5 friends round and try and man handle it 2) -...
