kneeling trailer, and a set of the car dollies that Harbor Freight sells, roll it any where you want it, use a floor jack and cribbing to remove the dollies. Done in an hour. We build conveyors for Toyota that are 8 foot wide and 30 feet long, and weigh around 5k pounds, move them all over the shop and their plant with these. Never lost a wheel off of one yet.

Some people are like slinkies, Not really good for anything, but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs!
Loan him the money Alan, what are father's for anyhow, just think of all the things you can make on that lathe. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif[/img]
We moved a Bridgeport mill by hiring a flatbed wrecker. He used the winch to pull it up on the flatbed and strapped it down. When we got to the shop, he angled the flatbed into the shop and slid it off (using the winch of course). The we used a small farm tractor to push it across the concrete and the manhandled it into final possition. Used pry bars to lift and level it. No too bad. Pretty inexpensive too.

I own a machine shop and for lifting and setting small machines (less than 2500 lbs) I call a local wrecker service to unload from truck or trailer. First move the tailstock and carriage as far back as you can to help balance the weight, then get some lift straps and wrap them around the ways of the lathe. hook the winch cable from the wrecker to the straps and lift just enough to drive out from under it. Then set it on some steel pipes and roll into place. JUST REMEMBER, EASY DOES IT!!!
