Just remember chains are no good at pushing. Make sure you've got a method to stop it in case it gets a gallop on once you've got it moving!

There's what looks like a morse taper piece with it not sure what size but it's about the same width as the removable quick change piece in the 50 taper end.
Probably no good for me so hopefully friend can use it in the mill otherwise if anyone wants it then pm.
What is it?
Aka someone offered him more and he is just waiting to see if they view the carI am trying to aquire a Mercedes 190 Cosworth. After seeing the car on Saturday and agreeing the sellers asking price that I'd take it, he then said he isnt sure if he is selling it and will come back to me

What do you suggest?
My idea was laying down some sheets because it's actually on ground right now.
Lift it up little bit to put 12mm at the most round bars (so it's not able to tilt), put a belt at the lowest of the column and slowly moving it using the lever hoist.
Almost on flat slightly uphill then once on concrete using a pry bar

Not even our bigger machines at work use iso 50 at work.
They are all iso 40 except for the jib borer that uses Morse taper 5 with retaining wedges and a four lugs tool holder for the boring and milling attachments
I believe this boring heads is from an huge machine in the 15 up to 25ish HP size as ours are 12HP using iso 40
Would definitely work just need to seal with food safe resin/epoxy, only problem is pla tends to get very soft once you're close to 50°c so would be like trying to hold a thin paper cup about to rip if you put anything boiling in!

Exactly what I was thinking.The poor bastard fixing the gangway that went back to grab a couple of bolts is going to be cursing.
Rather like the time I was out in the van with a colleague. Spotted a couple of new scaffold boards on top of a skipful of stuff at the side of the road. We stopped and loaded them into the van and drove off. After about 15 miles, my mate said "I bet they were their ramp for a wheelbarrow". I turned round to take them back, but when we got back, the skip had gone.
Ahha! I wondered who had them.Exactly what I was thinking.

Can I have my boards back please?
Nah - only joking, sounds like you had a bargain there.
If you're on flat floor, you'll probably be OK, but even just some wedges that you can back out a few inches at a time as the load moves would be adequate. Alternatively, rope it to something heavy and immobile in the opposite direction.
Once it starts running away, your instinct will be to try stop it but downhill of a heavy thing chasing you is an incredibly dangerous place to be.
