Remove the drawers and lay the cabinet down in the back of your Ford...take pics when you get her home, and let us know her serial number! Looks like a 15-30(?). :)

Yes, yes, yes!! I've transferred these home in both a Mazda Tribute and a small Isuzu Rodeo. As everyone says, remove the machine head and put it on the back floor. I did not lay any of my 4 cabinets down, I just stood them up in the back. My weakling self and other women had no problem loading them in the back. Hope you get it - you will LOVE the seven drawer cabinet - it is a beauty!
