However it has to go on it's side
I try to avoid transporting any kind of a washer on it's side or back, David. A good, vintage Filter-Flo has a pretty intricate suspension system that you could knock out of alignment if you're not careful. It may run the cost of acquistion up a bit, but it's worth renting a larger truck or a trailer if you have to. I've had to transport a dryer on it's back and I was lucky - but there too, you could knock the drum out of it's mounting. | ||

While the cable suspension is definitely a concern, I'd be more worried about tearing up the rubber boot on the bottom of the tub! Carry it upright for sure. | ||

Moving a GE washer...
I was able to move my old filter-flo on it's side. It actually fit inside a Ford Explorer on its side along with the dryer. Just the washer would definitely fit. There was no damage to the suspension or boot and you can still buy a boot just in case. There are still plenty of parts out there for these washers. Enjoy! Jon | ||

I would be concerned with the weight. The cement block inside it makes the GE FF quite heavy. Bobby in Boston | ||

I have picked up too many to count washers and dryers in my Jeep Cherokee, laid on sides front but mostly the back, it was just easier to tilt against vehicle and then lift from bottom and slide in...and never had an issue with anything going wrong....just some water may spill out...keep a few towels nearby and lay it on an old blanket...and keep in mind that it may slide so you may want to "block" it...the only machine i was told to keep upright was my neptune...and that advise came from a maytag repairman...happy motoring
