Well, it was rather an interesting procedure, but 3 of us managed to get the new MM 16 down the steps in one piece. We used an appliance dolly to let it down the stairs,attached a rope to that which was wrapped around a porch post 1 1/2 times to slow the descent if needed. That part was actually the easiest. More difficult was getting it from my truck, across the back yard to the door. The ground is wet and soft, the small wheels on the dolly often sank into the ground, making it much more difficult to roll than if it was on concrete. We ended up laying down a half sheet of 1/8 inch masonite and rolling over that in the softest sections.
I still don't have my 240 wiring connected, so won't be able to try it out for at least a week. I guess a thorough cleanup is next on the agenda, which will let me become familiar with the parts and adjustment and such.
I didn't even have time to admire it, as I was 1/2 hour late for my evening shift as it was. Here it is, all trussed up still.
