Yes that definetly has to be bolted down into cement. There are two holes in the chassis where the machine was mounted onto bolt shafts and nuts were screwed down to hold the machine down against the concrete. Nice to see it washing again it must be very "happy". The trickiest part on those were the tub bearings,when they gave out nothing moved. So I would say you are right about it not being overly used. I had a machine once that the bearing races were rust-welded to the back plate and would not come out, not even with red hot flame. Actually I have never seen another machine as rusted out as that one. Too bad as I got it from the original owner so I took it from its first install here in Melrose. |

Hi Brian, yes it must be bolted or it will take off and head for the moon. I have instructions on how to bolt it down, I also posted pictures of where the bolts go in an old thread for Nathan (link below). I have instructions on how to bolt the thing down, but I'm 1700 miles from home so I can't scan them right now. Maybe someone else has these as well who can scan them.
