The first order of business will be to modify the base that came with it to do a better job of clearing the stupid drain spigot on the bottom of the machine. For some reason the drain fitting hangs down almost 1.5" below the bottom of the machine. I also want to add castors to the base. BTW, I finally found where the weight was listed in the users manual; it weighs 550 pounds.
If you guys ever need to move this type of machine jack up each end and bolt on a 2x4, this will let you slide it around and clear that stupid spigot.
