need help to dismantle late model Shearaton 9" model A to transport home
I'm heading interstate to look at and if all well, purchase a late model Sheraton 9"A lathe on a stand.
To bring it home I'm potentially going to need to remove the motor to fit it all into a trailer.
I can see how the motor is mounted on a bracket at the back of the stand which will be easy enough to remove however I need some advice on how to remove the motor etc without cutting the main belt to the lathe head off.
Without seeing it, I am assuming the pulley cone has a grub screw or the likes and there may be some locking collars on either side to prevent the drive shaft from moving out.
I was then planning to remove the lathe from the stand and place the components into the trailer on timber so the trailer load is not so top heavy.
Many thanks in advance for your help.

Thankyou, I now have a Sheraton 9" AR Serial No. AR 272
Thanks Bob & Throng for your advice re dismantling the lathe to bring it home - they worked a treat.
I now have a Sheraton 9" AR Serial No. AR 272 and the fun begins to clean it all up.
I did a couple of test cuts using the different modes and it seemed to work ok.
It has a few issues to deal with but hopefully nothing major.
I will be scouring the forum for information on the tips and tricks to this lathe.
thanks again,
