What a ripper. Don't think it's going to move around on you!

Enjoy

Looks very interesting - I'd offer to help but my knee is not good especially after helping my mate move his bench.

Thanks Bob, the trailer is a break back one and I have a very big son and he has mates of equal size. We won't be lifting just a lot of sliding

Hi Rick .

You left the wheels and table on . Take care cause its very easy to break these things . I hope it doesn't happen but I bet your next post will be "How do I repair this broken saw !" Id suggest lifting it off the same way it was put on . Take off what you can . The trunnion bracket area thing that the table bolts to is the most broken thing you see on saws not moved right , Wheels next probably , then the C frame sometimes. You could probably get the table off and the motor. Not sure you could get those wheels off now ?
You want to treat these old machines as if they were made of chocolate. They break just as easy .

What Rob says about the table and trunnions is correct, don’t ask me how I know.
I would be unbolting the table before moving it off the trailer.
The wheels might be ok if the guards are strong enough to protect them, maybe some scrap spacers from the guards to the frame so the wheels don’t take the weight at any time.
A gantry and lifting gear to get it upwright onto a dolly might be a good approach.

Thanks for the tips guys, I shall be looking at that today.
The guard frame is 6x2 hardwood and very solid and it was leaning on that.
As I don't have a crane here taking parts of that may break sound like the best move

Very nice! Cresent/Silver? What size wheels?

And what the others said about getting it off the trailer and upright without breaking the trunnions.

Cheers, Vann.

32" wheels
So far I have managed to get the top wheel off, the table off, the motor and brackets off

When I get a hand I will stand it up and take the bottom wheel off and the wood frame and guards and be left with just the basic frame.

It didn't matter what bit I took off they are all heavy

I think it has a 2hp motor but has a cable for a 50hp motor

From what I have been able to find on the net it look exactly like this one so could be either or both Silver/Crescent

Saw is now off the trailer and in lots of bits, no breakages.
The break back trailer made it easy to slide it off and stand it up. My son and his mate made short work of sliding it over to the shed.
All covered up as it is raining over here. Now off to bunnings to get some stripper and paint
