I made a lower frame for my MR-1 to help move it around using a pallet jack or forklift. It came out looking pretty good so I thought I’d share the design here.
The frame is 4x4" 11 GA square tube. It sits on top of the leveling feet mounts, bolting down to them through the top side of the square tube with a 5" long fastener. The tube frame has 3/8-24 weld nuts on the bottom side to receive leveling feet. This component stackup allows 3"+ clearance for a standard pallet jack.
Hey @chiliarch this is incredible. I’m looking at buying a used machine and am going to use this to transport it home, I think. From the drawings and the F360 file, it looks like there are three pieces that are 30.75" and then there are longer ones. I assumed that they would be 38.75 but the measurements I’m pulling from F360 show 37.7". Could I bother you to confirm the dimensions of those long pieces/the overall exterior dimensions? I don’t have the machine to measure and am going to have to drive 3.5 hours to pick it up, so I’m trying to make this assembly sight unseen.
Hi Glad you like it.
I checked measurements on the machine - they match my drawing. I realized that I missed some overall dims on the drawing though, so here’s an update. The machine isn’t square, it’s 38.75 in one direction and approximately 37.7 in the other. Hope this helps TheCustomCab MR1 Lower Assembly Drawing v4.pdf (60.6 KB)
