Piece of cake. Take tools.

Take a big hammer also

You could always strap it on the hood like a big deer. Your headlights are going to be shining up if you are driving at night.

I hauled a 510 with a bandsaw, jointer and belt sander from north Carolina to ohio in a Toyota camry. bought it on ebay, should have seen their faces when I knocked it down in about ten minutes and loaded it into the trunk and back seat.

I had the whole front seat left and a good portion of the trunk when I picked up the 510 in Houston:

I couldn't get a MarkV, Scroll Saw and Power Station apart fast enough to load them in the back of my 4Runner, nothing compared to your adventure!

cool, that mission turned out to be a 500 with a gimpy headstock. He said the HS didnt have near the torque it used too so I shied away from it even if it was a good deal. I am wondering if that is one of the symptoms of a HS that has had the speed changed while it was off?
