In have used a automotive tow truck to lift a machine out of the back of a truck at a private home and place it as far as his boom would go into a garage.
Here at home I used my 1000LB engine hoist to take off the head, ram and turret as a unit. Then I lifted the base by the "spyder" and put it in my garage. I got it there by the use of a Uhaul trailer. The engine hoist was used at both ends. the only problem I had was getting the base of the hoist beneath the trailer to keep the CG as far back as possible.
A machine from that period will have grease fittings and a J head. Still an excellent deal.
