After installing the rebuilt motor, this machine is tough to move even with a dolly...so I got casters and installed them in place of the leveling legs...now it moves with the grace of an elephant in the Ballet Russe...anyone else ever try casters on appliances?

Do they hold tight when the machine spins? Looks like a good idea as long it doesn't hop about like a cat on a hot tin roof.

works like a charm, though I do have to put a little door stop down to keep it from moving while the machine is in operation. I also did it once with a refrigerator, it did make it a whole lot easier to move! Best of luck with yours!

Short of anchoring them to the floor Westys loved to squaredance. Made it fun to watch. Almost threatening, to a 9yo. But I could always punch the dial in and shut it off. Take that, machine. You're heavier and scarier but I'm superior.

Super Sliders.

They making a change over of a machine just as easy with a handtruck. "Slide out... Slide in." Never had any issues.
