Free Co. #5 joins our side! I need help
I just won the Free#5 from goodwill in Spokane WA. We are going up tomorrow to get it! What I need help with is, how do you get the head off to move it safely? I have taken the head off of a singer treadle before
will this be the same? a sheet of wood seems to cover the part where it should attach.
I'm so excited I can't type correctly We need a bunny wiggle smiley for times like this.

Hillsborro OR is about 220 miles, that seems to be where all the machines are sold around here. I can see where I need to keep lid on this addiction.

Windblown,
Glad you got the machine. I soooooo wanted it, but there was no way to get it. Now it's going to a good home.
Charlee beat me to the take down instructions so you should be good to go. When I transport a treadle cabinet I also remove the drawers. Just makes it easier on everything and take a belt of a soft something to tie the lids down so they don't flop open too.

Joe, you said something that I often forget in my emphasis to "get that head OUT of the cabinet before transport"...take out any attachments from the drawers, and remove the drawers, or if you have a key, lock them so they can't slide back and forth. (Removal is the best choice, no strain on the lock area then)
