Remove the drawers and lay the cabinet down in the back of your Ford...take pics when you get her home, and let us know her serial number! Looks like a 15-30(?). :)
Looks just like my 15-30 , Tiffany (or Gingerbread) decals! Only with the cabinet. Great find. I brought a White FR treadle home once following Charlee's advice - made it home beautifully! Do take the machine out of the cabinet - I wrapped mine in towels and put it on the floor behind the driver's seat. I didn't want it to fall or to become a 30 projectile if I hit the brakes hard for any reason.

Hope you get it - beautiful machine, great price.

thnx for the info...will def bring screwdrivers...flat head or phillips head...do you know?...guess i could just bring both :lol:
For the age of the machine, they should be flatheads unless they've been replaced. (Phillips weren't introduced until later) :)

I would surely try.

Yes, yes, yes!! I've transferred these home in both a Mazda Tribute and a small Isuzu Rodeo. As everyone says, remove the machine head and put it on the back floor. I did not lay any of my 4 cabinets down, I just stood them up in the back. My weakling self and other women had no problem loading them in the back. Hope you get it - you will LOVE the seven drawer cabinet - it is a beauty!

TIA
I got the same cabinet and machine in the back of my Honda Fit!! Me and the owner loaded it. I remember him looking at my car and asking "you want this in that??". Yup! Fit, with room to spare. So it can easily fit into an Escape.

Take the machine out of the cabinet to transport it.
