This hasn't seen daylight for a long time.
Migh Moe , that's what my friend calls the terramite, was able to drag it out of workshop.

The brake was in the garage when I bought the place 27 years ago.
Glad it was on skids.

When to pick it up and my front tires didn't like it. So I put on my rear ballast and put 45 psi in front tires.

All went well. Glad I made the rear ballast.
No way could I have moved the brake without it.

Once I got it too the pole barn. might moe was

Small enough to push it to it's new home.

I can't imagine it anyone was able to park it in my old workshop. That thing was heavy.

The titian forks held up well.

So how do you plan on doing the insulation, cover up and move out ?

MarkB_MI · Mar 6, 2020

That's a helluva brake, George!

With respect to insulation, I can tell you from experience that it's a lot easier to insulate before you move in all your stuff.

The Case guy needs that for all the things he builds- maybe he has one?

Cover up. Hard to believe it don't have a moisture problem yet. Not warm enough to spray roof.

Mark,
Insulators have to cover up walls and floor. They will use a scaffolding on wheels.

Before I installed the floor I had a condensation problem. Ground was wet. I put Plastic under concrete and no ore condensation. Going to wait for spring before I insulate roof.

I have always wanted a sheet metal brake. A little smaller than yours, but would settle for it. Stan

I would not have lifted it by the bottom like that . To easy to tip over. I would have put slings under the top part of the break and lifted. Hanging weight doesn't tip over like supported weight will.

Geo-TH,In · Mar 6, 2020

You may not see the chains and straps I used to prevent it from flipping over.

How did the person get this in the garage? Its very heavy.

I have a pole barn, and before I put concrete in, with a vapor barrier, everything inside would be covered in condensation. Now with the vapor barrier, it s dry as a bone.

Amazing what you can move with a few pieces of pipe and a block and tackle.

Neighbor has an all metal building we use for a shop not insulated never has a moisture problem

Traditional Farmer · Mar 7, 2020

Or a couple of those low profile casters.

great pictures!!!!

When I younger I had a 10x14 metal shed.
Same story. Gravel floor and condensation
on everything.

BIL installed a central AC in his
workshop/mancave in Leesburg, Fl.
They have so much humidity, his tools
would rust.

Larry,
Did you notice the tools next to the brake all have wheels?
George

Geo-TH,In · Mar 7, 2020

I made sure to have vented eves and ridge vent. So far no moisture problem. May not need to insulate. Builder wanted to put fan fold under roof. I said NO. I didn't want to have roof screwed to something flexible.

One way to move it would be roll it using pipes as rollers . That is how I got my wood/ oil furnace into my basement 22 years ago , and how I helped a friend move a small (8x12) building to a different spot on his property. That time I used boards on the lawn as tracks for the pipe to roll on.

It amazing and i would like to see how these old metal working pieces were made back in the 1800s with no CNC machines if anyone has a video of how some of these items were made please post it one thing i have never under stood was how they cast an engine block with the waterjackets and oil passages.

I plan on putting up a 33 X 55 wood truss quanset this spring and was planning on a crushed gravel floor. I will be used for storage only. Would it help to install plastic under the gravel? I have a good supply of heavy silage bag plastic. I was thinking of plastic under the metal roof.
