Hello all,
I'm going to pick up what I take to be an early 80's Millrite MVN on Tuesday, and am trying to figure out a minimum trailer weight limit needed to move it safely. It has a variable speed head and power X-feed. Don't know if that helps to narrow the suspects at all. So far I've found information indicating the weight of the older style pulley head models to be around 1200 to 1300. Does anyone know if this model is somewhere in that ballpark? Also, how hard is it to unbolt the head if needed for vertical clearance? Does anyone know if models of this vintage are all R-8 spindle, or if there were less common sizes made too? Thanks for any info.
