Pulled the trigger on a Monarch 10EE out of a southeast DOE facility (sight-unseen except for photos). It's a 1966 Modular model with ELSR and what seems to be most of the taper attachment (photos are missing the bracket that mount to the ways). It's indicated to be in great working shape but it's not my first rodeo/auction so there is bound to be something that needs attention.
I'll be transporting the machine about 300 miles over south carolina and and georgia highways on a 5ton equipment trailer. Transport prep seems to be pretty standard as I understand except I may want to go to the extra care of removing the covers and tubes. Cover removal seems to be more important with earlier models -- so I assume it is something that I want to be aware of with the 1966 modular version too.
It's July in the southeast so an afternoon thunderstorm would not be out of the question during the trip back -- though I'm going to try my best to transport as early in the day as possible. I usually wrap and tarp my machines fairly well -- anything else I may need to look out for on these machines? Something that I may want to wrap up extra tight?
Anyway, I just wanted to say hello as I expect I will be a bit more active in this area of the forum as tool up and troubleshoot the unknown along the way.
